The development of ceramic parts for aerospace is discussed. The need for thermostructural material for the nozzle of launcher motors and the nose tip of reentry bodies is mentioned. Developments dedicated to atmosphere reentry of the Hermes Spaceplane are described. It is considered that Hermes will open the door to thermostructural applications on manned flights and that other applications including monolithic ceramics will consolidate the knowhow and lead raw material producers to manufacture fine powders, organometallic resins and fibers.
