Three different set of tests were performed: (i) Oven tests so as to<br>qualify the thermal behaviour of the TCS especially when submitted to depressurization<br>inside the vehicle which is supposed to reduce by an order f the magnitude the thermal<br>conductivity of the panels (ii) Centrifuge tests so as to assess the mechanical strength of<br>different types of fixations between the airframe and the TCS during the boosted ascent<br>phase of the flight (iii) Wind tunnel tests so as assess the strength of ESM external thermal<br>protection panels. The main results are: (i) Insulation properties of the internal TCS is<br>much less as expected and will lead to a redesign of the TCS (ii) The fixations based on<br>lateral traps made with Velcro are far from the most resistant with respect to g-loads (iii)<br>External panels of the ESM are able to withstand the aerodynamic load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/HiSST-2022-92.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/HiSST-2022-92.pdf\">Read the full paper ><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>S\u00e9bastien Paris, Jean-Baptiste Gouriet, Jimmy Freitas Monteiro, Johan Steelant<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number XXX-YYY-ZZZ<\/p>\n<p>Conference Number HiSST-2022-92<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[993,1006,1014],"tags":[1077,1076,1075,1078],"class_list":["post-16129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-hisst-2022","category-testing-and-evaluation-hisst-2022","tag-centrifuge-tests","tag-hoven-tests","tag-thermal-protection-panels","tag-wind-tunnel-tests","category-993","category-1006","category-1014","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16129"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16130,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16129\/revisions\/16130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
