A system (100) and methods for high heat transfer rate reusable thermal protection are presented. A porous skin (110) comprises an exposed exterior surface (154) and a non-exposed surface (156), and a coolant reservoir (146) comprises perforations (118) coupled to the non-exposed surface, and valves (112). The valves regulate a flow of coolant (138) from the coolant reservoir to the porous skin in response to a temperature of the porous skin.
