| Description | Carbon phenolic heat shield technology is reviewed. Heat shield results from the outer planetary probe mission studies are summarized along with results of plasma jet testing of carbon phenolic conducted in a ten megawatt facility. Missile flight data is applied to planetary entry conditions. A carbon phenolic heat shield material is utilized and tailored to accommodate each of the probe missions. An integral heat shield approach is selected over in order to eliminate a high temperature interface problem and permit direct bonding of the carbon phenolic to the structural honeycomb sandwich. The sandwich is filled with a very fine powder to minimize degradation of its insulation properties by the high conductive hydrogen/helium gases during the long atmospheric descent phase. |
