Thermal performance of a proposed evacuated multi-layer insulation system for the National Aerospace PlaneThe National Aerospace Plane (NASP) will require thermal insulation systems which are consistent with cryogenic fluids, high thermal loads, and design restrictions such as weight and volume. Test sections of the proposed system have been constructed and evaluated. In this paper we discuss the components of the insulation system, the application of the insulation system to the NASP liquid hydrogen fuel tank system, and thermal conductivity measurements performed on test sections of the system. Both steady-state and transient thermal measurements are presented.
