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