Thermal Engineering of Mars Entry Carbon/Carbon Non-Ablative Aeroshell - Part 2
Candidate Aeroshell Test models composed of a quasi-isotropic Carbon/Carbon (C/C) front face sheet (F/S), eggcrate core, C/C back F/S, Carbon Aerogel insulation, C/C radiation shield and the C/C close-out were constructed based on the analytical temperature predictions presented in Part One of this work.

Kinetics of the Formation of Intercalation Compounds in Crystalline Graphite
Crystalline graphite has a structure that can be best described as an ordered stack of flat aromatic layers. It is known to form intercalation compounds with bromine and nitric acid. Their formation was studied using thermal measurements and analytical techniques. Samples of graphite treated with either bromine or nitric acid were prepared by contacting these reagents with powdered graphite.
