Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Recently, the Orion Thermal Protection System (TPS) team conducted two arc jet test series which will help develop analytical models used for designing the Orion Heat Shield. The first test series was conducted at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas and included the use of 4” diameter Avcoat samples featuring a modified fabrication process. The second series of tests, conducted at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, feature 4.5” square Avcoat models in a wedge configuration. The wedge testing yields important data about material behavior in an aerodynamic shear environment. The test team then performs post-test laser scans which yield detailed measurements of the complex material surface created in this type of test. |
