Review of status of heat shield materials; evolution of heat protection systems with changes in mission objectives; principal factors which influence selection of materials for heat shield application are vehicle configuration, ballistic coefficient, re-entry velocity and flight trajectory; vehicle configurations ranging from very blunt bodies for manned spacecraft to very slender bodies for ballistic re-entry exhibit completely different characteristics with respect to environment experienced by external materials.
