ELECTRICAL SHORTING OF THERMOCOUPLES IN ATMOSPHERIC ENTRY APPLICATIONSThe Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID) will test Hyper-sonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (HIAD) technology. Temperature measurements are taken across the vehicle to address a Level 1 mission requirement regarding performance of the Flexible Thermal Protection System (F-TPS). Temperature measurements are made using dozens of thermocouples (TCs) embedded within the F-TPS at different depths and various locations shown in Figure 1.
