Abstract

The demand for the development of atmospheric entry vehicles, dealing with reentry and solar-system planet exploration, is increasing. Generally, atmospheric drag and heating accompany the entry into atmospheric air. Accordingly, the selection of the thermal protection materials and the design and application of the thermal protection system are very important. In this paper, the atmospheric entry environment and the type and characteristics of the thermal protection materials are discussed. The design and application status of a thermal protection system for spaceplanes are described.

지구 재진입 비행체와 태양계 행성의 대기권 진입 비행체의 개발 요구가 증가하고 있다. 일반적으로 대기권 진입에는 대기 항력과 가열 환경이 동반하여 이에 따른 열보호 자재의 선정과 열보호 시스템의 설계와 적용이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 대기권 진입 환경과 우주 비행기의 열보호 자재의 종류와 특징을 고찰하였다. 그리고 우주비행기에 사용하는 열보호 시스템의 설계 및 활용 현황 등에 대하여 기술하였다.
