Radiative ceramic heat shield designs for manned lifting entry vehicles; porous forms of ceramics were selected to provide advantageous insulation and weight characteristics; candidate materials and their appropriate porous structure were determined through thermal stress analyses, heat transfer studies, and thermal shock tests which simulated most severe heating conditions for representative vehicle re-entry trajectories; ceramic heat shield concepts were compared with ablative shields with respect to cost, weight, reliability, and other aspects; ceramic designs were found competitive.
