Abstract

An efficient multilayer thermal protection system design is necessary for the successful development of spacecraft using cryogenic propellants for mission durations of more than a day. This design must satisfy the requirements peculiar to the mission and perform satisfactorily when subjected to the often contradictory demands of ground hold, ascent, and space environments.

A portion of the test program was funded under NASA Lewis Research Center Contract NAS 3–4199.
