Explore factors affecting ablative materials, heating duration, and volume optimization for reentry vehicle TPS design. Utilize a design algorithm to calculate and assign materials, adjust TPS thickness, and manage weight limits effectively based on heating history analysis.
E N D
Design Factors • Heating Duration 10-20 minutes • Heat Soak • Increases Thickness of Ablator • Large Area 4x8m • Large Volume of TPS • Weight Limits
Design Algorithm • Caclulate heating history for several points of aeroshell • Choose materials for each point • Size depth of TPS for each point • Calculate TPS Volume Mass • Hand Mass over to Structures
