Case Ceramic
Posted in Watches on 04/25/2009 07:45 am by adminCeramic materials used for space shuttle?
I assume that the materials used to protect spacecraft from heat upon reentering the atmosphere is ceramic based.
If I were to design something of the sort, what materials would I use, and what would be the best way of obtaining it. Also, maybe suggest ceramic alternatives.
I'm designing something for school in case you're wondering. My plans for world domination will come later....
Yes, the white materials on the space shuttle are ceramic based. The specific material is a very pure silica fiber that is manufactured via a Sol-Gel process. Like most things that NASA buys, it is a very very expensive material.
I am assuming your school project requires protecting something from very high temperatures. You can purchase high temperature ceramic fiber insulation for a lot less than you could purchase the space shuttle tile materials.
Here is one source for this stuff. You may be able to find this stuff for less at a local insulation supply house.
