| Customer: ESA/ESTEC (2003 – 2006) |  | Development of an advanced insulation subsystem (=package between the hot ceramic shingles and the cold aluminum vehicle structure) for re-entry space vehicles by identification and test of new materials with a hot test up to 1.600°Celsius of the final insulation package. |

| Customer: ESA/ESTEC (2003 – 2006) |  | Smart TPS can be defined as systems able to "feel" an applied thermo-mechanical environment and to change their basic properties to "react or adapt" to the environment. More than 30 concepts have been identified, around 5 concepts have been assessed in more detail, and 1 concept has been breadboarded and tested. This was an adaptive paint which protects the cold structure in case of failure of the hot ceramic cover shingles of a space re-entry vehicle. |
