Development of an external ceramic insulation for the space shuttle orbiterThe development and evaluation of a family of reusable external insulation systems for use on the space shuttle orbiter is discussed. The material development and evaluation activities are described. Additional information is provided on the development of an analytical micromechanical model of the reusable insulation and the development of techniques for reducing the heat transfer. Design data on reusable insulation systems and test techniques used for design data generation are included.
