Thermal Stability of Ceramic Coated Thermal Protection Materials in a Simulated High-Speed Earth Entry

David Stewart, Daniel B. Leiser

Abstract

This paper describes the dimensional stability of ceramic coated thermal protection materials developed for use on advanced entry vehicles. Dimensional stability of these ceramic materials were studied as a function of temperature and pressure during exposure to simulated atmospheric entry in an arc-jet facility.
