Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) Development and Maturation Status for NF Missions

This poster provides an overview of the requirements, design, development and testing of the 3D Woven TPS being developed under NASA's Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) project. Under this current program, NASA is working to develop a Thermal Protection System (TPS) capable of surviving entry into Saturn. A primary goal of the project is to build and test an Engineering Test Unit (ETU) to establish a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of 6 for this technology by 2017.

Adaptable, Deployable Entry and Placement Technology (ADEPT) Overview of FY15 Accomplishments

ADEPT is an atmospheric entry architecture for missions to most planetary bodies with atmospheres: Current Technology development project funded under STMD Game Changing Development Program (FY12 start); stowed inside the launch vehicle shroud and deployed in space prior to entry; low ballistic coefficient (less than 50 kilograms per square meter) provides a benign deceleration and thermal environment to the payload; High-temperature ribs support three dimensional woven carbon fabric to generate drag and withstand high heating.

Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET)

Heat-shield for Extreme Entry Technology (HEEET) project is based on the 3-D Woven TPS, an emerging innovative and game changing technology funded by SMD and STMD to fill the ablative TPS gap that exists currently for reaching the depths of Saturn and Venus. Woven TPS technology will address the challenges currently faced by the Venus, Saturn, and higher speed sample return mission Science community due to lack of availability of the only TPS, namely Carbon Phenolic and enable the Science community to move forward with proposals in this decade with Woven TPS. This presentation describes the approach in maturing the technology in the next three years enabling NF-4 mission proposers to address the challenges of Venus, Saturn or higher speed sample return missions.
