How To Make NASA's Space Tiles
Ойын-сауық
A behind the scenes look of the making of Thermal Protection Systems (aka heat shield tiles use on space vehicles) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Jacobs Technology is the contractor making these thermal protection system tiles that were used on NASA's Orion and will be used on Dream Chaser. This is the first look into the facility by media since 2011.

I went to a lecture with a chemical engineering professor who demonstrated in class the way space shuttle tiles were made. I have not seen any information about his method on the internet. But Im pretty sure its right. He made a sample in class, it was thinner than a pencil and a meter long and nobody could break it, even banging it on stone. Stronger than steel, and lighter. There was a frisbee made from the stuff which worked like a normal frisbee and that is what got them the contract.

That sounds useful! Instead of a frisbee, it would do more utility as a sultonius spinner for hot fluids or even foundry work ?

Thank you for posting this!
I remember when I was in 3rd grade back in 1989 NASA people went to our showed us the tiles and did exactly the same thing with the torch and they let us touch the tile,i couldn’t believe how it did not catch on fire now I am a welder and I have a plasma cutter and I cut all sorts of metas thin n thick in seconds yet these tiles seem from another world
How did you get to go on this tour? This is really informative!

So after making the tile form it is then baked, or fired at a high tempature. Why cant you come up with a way to spray it directly on the rocket and allowed to air dry, and then let the reentry fire bake the shield onto the rocket.
what is the thermal conductivity of this stuff?

Because of "intellectual property rights" that destroys competition, I am guessing. Plus, why make quality, safe, built-to-last buildings when planned obsolescence using plastic polyethylene cladding that turns affordable housing into death traps (re: Grenfell Towers) is totally legal! Because if you ain't rich, you're poor and deserve to maybe lose what little you have or die horribly I guess.

if paper mache was pyrolized then it must be carbonized thus black coloured, this tile are white at first and still white at the end, i think those slurry are just chopped fiber glass mat resembling paper mache, and they sintered at specific condition

Those cubes at about 3:28 look like orange-red Tessertacts
Because they are such poor conductors of heat they reflect heat so they make great insulator ( heat reflectors) the guy who invented the green egg grill made his grills lined up with these bricks so all the heat from a coal fire is reflected to the food entirely and not lost to the grill like it happens with a metal made grill. The green egg is so efficient at reflecting heat you need less charcoal to burn to cook your food, so a bag of charcoal would last 2 or 3 seasons
I’d pay solid cash for a heat tile from the space shuttle I wouldn’t care where it goes on the shuttle it would be cool to have one Unfortunately I did google it and there doesn’t seem to be any for sale I don’t know if it’s because they’re toxic or they didn’t make any extras idk but I’d still love to get my hands on one If it’s not toxic that is

I know someone who works in jacobs. If you noticed the tour guides t-shirt you would understand
$500-$5000 per tile isn't too bad, considering the cost of a X band transmitter is $100,000 and that's not including the ability to change frequencies, or even use it for voice and data signals, for that it's into the millions to find a reliable one for a bargain that will work in space, and because it's NASA they would want 3 of them to make sure they can call home, the antenna cost isn't included, you want an antenna it's going to cost you an additional $10,000. Still wanting to launch a cube sat? it's not that cheap the cheapest cubesats are going to be around $300,000 to have it work reliably in LEO.

And they get lovely kick-backs in the form of campaign "donations". So they have no vested interest in making wise financial decisions.

That's precisely what they do... for high fire risk areas. It's simply too expensive and unnecessary for the average person. Homes which comply with 2000's standards, even, are very good against fires. The problem is that 70%+ of homes do not comply with modern code standards for fireproofing, nor are they required to, nor COULD they be required to (without mass unrest and massive costs).

Manufacturing science today can assure encapsulation so that people working the plant are not exposed (foam down the scrap/stock to encapsulate for transport, then dissolve the foam as the first step in the breakup and mixing process, then french-dip the end product to support post-process encapsulation of the end product. ?

The tiles will at first absorb a lot of water. So they have to treat it with a waterproof substance first. And then the tile becomes totally waterproof but can still absorb other liquids like the oil they showed
