Thermal protection systems for aerodynamically controlled reentry bodies - Summary of developments in the ART program
Abstract
General questions regarding the protection of reentry vehicles against aerodynamic-heating effects are considered along with the specific aspects investigated in the ART program. System studies are discussed and work related to the development of metallic radiation-insulation systems is reported. A description of theoretical investigations of ablative heat shields is presented. Attention is also given to experimental development work concerning ablative insulation systems.
