This book indicates some of the most important directions that thermophysics will be taking in the next ten years. In particular, it focuses on the development of more efficient, more durable thermal designs and materials for longer and more expensive space flights. Some of the topics the book discusses are: comparison of contact thermal resistance theory and experiments, the combination of optics and engineering in thermophysics, super-insulation crystal growth during melting and freezing, physical parameters affecting radiation property degradation, under simulated space conditions, radiation from a gaseous medium, theoretical predictions of surface effects upon radiative properties, heat pipes, and design of a Mars planetary lander.
