Assignment: You are assigned to design a Thermal Protection System (TPS) for
spacecraft re-entry. For your assignment, please ensure that you take care of these
ideals for a material:

1) High melting point (to withstand extreme temperatures)


2) Low thermal conductivity (to prevent heat transfer to the spacecraft)
3) Lightweight structure (to minimize payload weight)

Please propose a material out of the list here.

a) Silica-Based Ceramic Tiles (SiO₂)


b) Carbon-Phenolic Composite
c) Reinforced Carbon-Carbon structure (RCC)
d) Phenol Impregnated Carbon Ablator (PICA)

Pick one of the above materials for your design and justify your answer by
analyzing the three ideals listed above.

The deadline for assignment submission is March 15th, 2025 12 pm.


Late submissions will be given a zero. No retakes allowed. Please
