Abstract: Dependences of the drag and lift force coefficients of a magnetized sphere in a hypersonic rarefied plasma flow on the angle between the plasma flow velocity and the intrinsic magnetic induction vector of the body are obtained in a wide range of the ratio of the magnetic pressure to the plasma flow pressure. It is shown that by changing the orientation of the magnetic field vector of the body and the incoming flow velocity, it is possible to control the dynamic interaction in the plasma–body system, namely, to decelerate and accelerate the magnetized sphere in the rarefied hypersonic plasma flow.

Keywords: magnetized body, hypersonic rarefied plasma flow, magnetic field.
