Sample of intermetallic material – PL18 • Objectives: Test orthorhombic titanium aluminide (Ti2AlNb) in flight conditions • Sensors: tile is equipped with thermocouples • Principle Investigator: INASMET, San Sebastian, Spain
Conclusion • ESA has selected and managed the development of a set of consistent experiments for re-entry experimentation • Extensive CFD campaign and ground qualification campaign in European ATD facilities (DLR, CIRA, IRS, VKI, ALTA) • Several Lessons learned • Demanding mechanical environment for vibration and shock • Difficult IF between different TPS material (CMC and metallic TPS) • Vehicle and Payloads currently under integration, System test end 2010 • Readiness for flight early 2011 and expected launch mid 2011 1.
