PROCEEDINGS OF A CONFERENCE ON AERODYNAMICALLY HEATED STRUCTURES HELD AT CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, JULY 25, 1961,

Abstract

This volume brings together for the first time papers by recognized authorities on the structural and materials requirements of space vehicles exposed to aerodynamic heating, particularly during re-entry. The current status of insulating problems, especially in lift-flight vehicles, is discussed in detail, as are proposed thermal protection systems for future aerospace vehicles. Of particular importance are the reports on new developments of high-temperature thermal protection systems, thermal protection of cryogenic propellants, and structural cooling systems. (Author)
