TECHNIQUE FOR SEVERE RADIATIVE AND CONVECTIVE HEATING ENVIRONMENTS FOR MATERIALS EVALUATION.

Abstract

A test technique is described for the study of the performance of heat protection materials for advanced atmospheric entry vehicles. A primary characteristic of the facility is the establishment of relatively severe test environments that simulate flight conditions in terms of gas composition, stagnation enthalpy, convective and radiative heat transfer rates, and material specimen response. Another important feature is the significant flexibility in test variables that can be achieved. (Author)
