Transpiration Cooling System Development for Reentry Vehicles
Abstract
This report describes the design, fabrication, and test of a transpiration system test panel module for reentry vehicles. The transpiration system was designed with the objectives of light weight, reusability, minimum refurbishing cost, and mission flexibility. The module development program consisted of four phases: materials, component analysis and development, fabrication of hardware, and test of the module in a plasma facility. This study demonstrated the feasibility of a transpiration system for reentry vehicles.
