The Space Shuttle Thermal Protection System was one of the three
areas that required the development of new technology. The talk
discusses the pre-flight development of the aerothermodynamic
environment which was based on Mach 8 wind tunnel data. A high
level overview of the pre-flight heating rate predictions and
comparison to the Orbiter Flight Test (OFT) data is presented,
along with a discussion of the dramatic improvement in the
state-of-the-art in aerothermodynamic capability that has been used
to support the Shuttle Program. A high level review of the Orbiter
aerothermodynamic design is discussed, along with improvements in
Computational Fluid Dynamics and wind tunnel testing that was
required for flight support during the last 30 years. The units
have been removed from the plots, and the discussion is kept at a
high level.
