A thermal protection study was conducted on the first lunar outpost (FLO) crew module. The study objectives are as follows: (1) assess effects of vehicle size on aerothermodynamic environment and thermal protection system (TPS) weight; (2) assess effects of lunar-return strategies on aerothermodynamic environment and TPS weight; and (3) assess weight penalty for common TPS design for all lunar-return strategies. All material is covered in viewgraph format.
