How the Space Shuttle Beat 3000°C – The Re-Entry Puzzle
The Space Shuttle's return to Earth was one of the most dangerous parts of its mission. With temperatures exceeding 1650°C and plasma blocking all communications for 12 minutes, the orbiter relied on heat-resistant reinforced carbon-carbon panels, 32,000 silica-based insulation tiles, and a carefully maintained angle of attack. A massive body ...

I love the new plastic that they're using, love the little engineering tweaks they've done with the additional real estate, and overall just basking in their collective aura. Hope we see more MP projects from Magic Square in the near future! #transformers #blastoff #Combaticons #Bruticus | Bot Bender Orinj | Facebook

Space | Earth | Astronomy 🔭 on Instagram: "Imagine holding something that’s still glowing red-hot - and not getting burned. 😳🔥 NASA’s Space Shuttle was protected by incredibly advanced heat-resistant tiles that could withstand temperatures of up to 2,300°F. Most of the orbiter was covered in LI-900 silica tiles, made from extremely pure quartz sand. Their job was to shield the shuttle’s aluminum body from the brutal heat of re-entry. These tiles were such poor heat conductors that even when t

On March 30, 1982, STS-3 concluded with an unexpected landing in New Mexico when Space Shuttle Columbia touched down at White Sands Missile Range at approximately 8:52 a.m. local time. Commanded by Jack Lousma with Gordon Fullerton as pilot, STS-3 was a test mission focused on evaluating Columbia’s thermal protection system and onboard performance during extended operations in orbit. The shuttle was originally scheduled to land at Edwards Air Force Base in California, but heavy rain flooded Roge

History on Instagram: "On February 1st, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated during its re-entry into the atmosphere. The seven astronauts were killed. 82 seconds after the launch of shuttle (STS-107), a sizable piece of foam struck the leading edge of Columbia's left wing, at a speed between 650 and 950 km/h, making a hole in the protective tiles made of reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC), close to the landing gear area. During the re-entry into the atmosphere, plasma at 1500 °C penetrate
