NASA technicians and engineers have
designed a unique experiment that will demonstrate the inflatable heat shield that
will be used to protect the space craft by entering the planet atmosphere or by
returning that to the earth. Robert Dillman is said that “ We have developed a 10 foot
diameter heat shield that we are packing uninflated in to the 22 inch diameter nose cone of a
three stage Black Brant XI sounding rocket.
He is the chief engineer of the IRVE- 3.Thsi
will protect against the payload that includes the steering mechanisms, telemetry,
equipment and the camera gear. In this the rings are covered by the high tech blankets
that are made up of heat resistant materials.
Neli cheatwood said that “Packing actually
turns out to be quite a challenge”. Carrie Rhoades said that “We like it when
it looks simple” he is the flight system engineer. He also said that “It actually
took quite a bit of work to get to where we are now. We have to do all kinds of
different testing in wind tunnels, high temperature facilities and laboratories”.
