Thermal Testing of the Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) TPSThe testing of a thermal protection system (TPS) in multiple arc jets and laser facilities is critical not only to determine the ability of a material to withstand the harsh aerothermal environments but is also required to collect relevant data that allows construction of a thermal response model of the TPS for flight design. The present talk provides an overview of recent arcjet testing of the HEEET material, one of the families of materials from the 3D Woven TPS program, being developed under NASAs Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) project.
