‘An Overview of the X-33 Thermal Protection System’, NASA/CR-2003-212660. NASA is incentivizing the development of a commercial space economy – starting with Low-Earth Orbit and rapidly extending to the Moon and eventually to humans on Mars.

2024年9月23日 · Thermal protection systems are a specialized form of exterior shielding built for the uniquely hazardous conditions that hypersonic vehicles face. Certain TPS solutions can protect ballistics as they leave and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and can also protect hypersonic cruisers and aerospace vehicles.

2023年4月4日 · The Thermal Protection Materials Branch uses thermal response software such as FIAT to calculate both the surface and in-depth behavior of the thermal protection system (TPS) as a function of time for a prescribed surface heating environment.
