A series of tests was performed on Grumman-developed surface insulation material, CPI, to demonstrate its suitability for the shuttle orbiter thermal protection system. Salt spray testing was done to determine the effect of sea water mist of CPI's performance during simulated re-entry thermal cycling. This type of testing is mandatory because of the sea coast environment of Cape Kennedy where the shuttle will be launched. CPI-4 was tested and the results gave a good indication of the type and degree of degradation to be expected in actual use. (Author)
