This slide presentation reviews the testing of thermal protection system materials. All space vehicles that reenter Earth's atmosphere from either LEO or from Lunar/Mars missions require thermal protection system (TPS) materials. These TPS materials requires ground test facilities that simulate the aerothermodynamic environments experienced by reentry. The existing arc-jet facility requires expansion to combine convective and radiation heating and to test the capability to protect with the CO2 atmosphere that will be encountered for Martian entry.
