Musk Has Finally Solved The Problem Of Heat Shields On Starship
SpaceX has recently made significant improvements to the heatshield of its Starship spacecraft, aiming to enhance its durability and reusability during re-entry. One of the major enhancements includes the addition of an extra heat shield layer made from an ablative material. This layer serves as a backup to protect the spacecraft if any of the primary ceramic tiles fail. This secondary layer ensures that the spacecraft can survive the intense heat of re-entry even if some tiles are damaged or fall off.
The primary heat shield of the Starship consists of about 18,000 hexagonal ceramic tiles. These tiles have been tested to withstand temperatures up to 2,510 degrees Fahrenheit (1,377 degrees Celsius) during re-entry. The hexagonal shape minimizes paths through which hot gases can pass, enhancing the shield's effectiveness.
In addition to the new ablative layer, SpaceX has addressed previous issues such as clogged valves and engine malfunctions that occurred during re-entry attempts. For the upcoming fourth test flight, the company has incorporated additional roll control thrusters and hardware upgrades to improve attitude control and ensure a more stable re-entry. These changes aim to prevent the overheating and structural issues observed in earlier tests.
