Enabling Technology for Thermal Protection on HIAD and Other Hypersonic Missions

PI: Steve Miller, Heetshield, Inc., Kamran Daryabeigi (Co-I), NASA/Langley Research Center

Overview
Maturation Objectives

Thermal protection systems (TPS) protect space vehicles from the intense heat generated during planetary entry. The Enabling Technology for Thermal Protection on HIAD and Other Hypersonic Missions demonstration aims to assess the thermal performance of two new TPS materials developed by Heetshield Inc. The two materials are opacified fibrous insulation (OFI) designed for attenuating the radiation mode of heat transfer and flexible insulation with reinforced aerogel (FIRA), designed to minimizes gas conduction heat transfer.
