Special nondestructive techniques for evaluating space shuttle surface insulationNDT techniques have been developed for performing in-process evaluations for material variability and for process control. Several of these techniques show considerable promise for evaluating the reusable surface insulation during the operational phase of the shuttle. Considered are radiographic dosimetry, sonic velocity and modulus sounding, infrared coating evaluation, and beta backscatter monitoring of coating thickness.
