North Korea watcher Ankit Panda wrote on The Diplomat website that http://thediplomat.com/2017/08/5-takeaways-on-north-koreas-ballistic-missile-overflight-of-japan/ to carry out a full-range flight test of its longer-range missiles, including the Hwasong-12 IRBM and even the Hwasong-14 intercontinental-range ballistic missile.
"Flying missiles on trajectories closer to their minimum energy trajectory would help simulate a more realistic stress and temperature endurance profile for the reentry vehicle. "

Hi contraposition Originally, it meant the shape or outline of something - especially the human face. It gives you a clear picture Here, I'd say it means a set of data that gives a clear picture of how their missile will behave when it is sent off on a certain trajectory. They will get measurements of temperature and stress, in order to build up a picture of the strengths and weaknesses of the rocket Regards, Dave
