Gap Filler Response in Arc Jet Testing<br />

Mars Science Laboratory<br />

• Gap response dependent upon heating conditions<br />

– High heating – gaps at any angle with the flowfield experienced recession<br />

comparable to the surrounding PICA<br />

– Low heating – gaps at low angles with the flowfield protruded<br />
