The current design of NASA’s Multi-Purpose Crew vehicle uses the latest iteration of AVCOAT, an ablating thermal protection material. However, restrictions placed on the export of experimental data concerning its performance make collaborative efforts aimed at improving existing heat-shield design tools difficult to establish. The material model dubbed VISTA provides an alternative open-source platform upon which the physics of ablation can be thoroughly investigated. In this paper, calibration of a material model through Bayesian inference is demonstrated with VISTA and open-source Apollo-era AVCOAT flight data. A sensitivity analysis is first carried out using Pearson correlation coefficients and method of Sobol where the results of both approaches are compared. The calibration methodology used in this paper is then demonstrated first with the use of manufactured data. Following, the parameters of VISTA are calibrated using material temperature data recorded during the Apollo 4 test flight and uncertainties due to parametric, modeling, and data inaccuracy sources are simultaneously quantified. Uncertainty quantification of model output in this work is done by forward propagating quantified uncertainties onto model output where a large reduction in total uncertainty is observed.
