Reusable Thermal Protection Systems
Thermal protection systems (heat shields) are a highly-engineered low-density ceramic with specific coatings applied to improve emissivity, toughness, and waterproofing.
Based off of NASA Heritage AETB heritage composition: Non-ablative and reusable up to 2600 °C
Available in various densities to optimize strength vs. thermal conductivity
Coatings for emissivity, strength, and waterproofing
Can be used as RF-transparent insulation on various aerospace and space systems
