The article discusses the use of Trelleborg Ecospheres, a heat shield material manufactured by Trelleborg Offshore, by the United Space Alliance in the space programme of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Remarks from Gary Gladysz of Trelleborg regarding how these ...
Description This display features a genuine piece of a space shuttle heat-shield tile. These tiles cover the underbelly and various surfaces of the space shuttle vehicle to protect it from the destructive heat of passage through the Earth's atmosphere. Made of a ceramic composite material, they ...
NASA is now offering museums a choice of freeze-dried and heat-resistant artifacts for their space shuttle-themed displays. NASA expanded its offer of surplus astronaut food and space shuttle heat shield tiles that had earlier been open to schools only.
A close-up view of the heat shield on space shuttle Discovery's nose was provided by Expedition 18 crewmembers on the International Space Station before docking on March 17, 2009 during STS-119. (Image credit: NASA.) CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -Shuttle Discovery will make a fiery plunge through...
CEV shieldmaterial must protect the capsule and its crew from incredible heat as thecraft plunges through Earth's atmosphere from orbit, or plowing in from theMoon. Eventually, the CEV will haul back to home the first crew from Mars. ...
From what I gathered in Heat transfer, an object in space, ie space shuttle, can only lose cabin heat through the means of radiation (no conduction or...
Testing the space-shuttle thermal-protection coating A light-weight insulation material and its protective glassy coating will protect the space shuttle from temperatures as high as 1250°C (2300°F). The cr... MF Duggan - 《Experimental Mechanics》 被引量: 1发表: 1977年 SPACE SHUTTLE ENTRY ...
heat shield will be one of few in the history of spaceflight that experiences no ablation and therefore has no need for refurbishment. The only other spacecraft to employ similar heat shield technology was NASA's space shuttle, which relied on a reusable tile shield made of insulating material...

heat shields were made of ablative materials that carried away the heat of reentry as they were shed, but the space shuttle introduced refractory materials—silica tiles and a reinforced carbon-carbon material—that withstood the heat directly. Newer vehicle designs use active cooling and refractory...
