Thermal support for space shuttle
Abstract
The results are reported of research to provide thermal support in the design of the thermal protection system (TPS) of the space shuttles. Tasks discussed include: generation of temperature boundaries for space shuttle orbiter and booster during atmospheric reentry, leading edge and nose cap materials, TPS panel test facility support, thermal test facility support, and hot gas test facility support. A summary of thermal models generated for the space shuttle support is included.
