Summary

[edit]
Description
English: For the Space Shuttle orbiter, blankets do more than keep away the cold. They also offer protection from intense heat. Made of a woven ceramic fabric, special blankets are used in several areas on the orbiter. For example, the blankets help insulate the vehicle's Reinforced Carbon-Carbon nose cap. In preparation for Discovery's Return to Flight mission, STS-114, workers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center recently manufactured and installed the nose cap blankets. It was the first time the two-month process was completed entirely at KSC. Blanket pieces must be cut, quilted together, and trimmed to exact measurements. Then they are heat-cleaned and waterproofed in large ovens resembling pizza ovens. Finally, they are attached to a support structure and installed in the nose cap. When the Shuttle returns to flight, the blankets will help protect it from the extreme temperatures it will face during its mission.
