The thermal protection system provides a shield from aerodynamic heating in the outer space. The system works through a series of materials that are equipped in the spacecraft that should withstand extreme temperature conditions from the launch and in outer space.

Have thermal protection systems ever failed to work?
Yes.
Why is black pannels use on the space shuttle?
They are thermal heat protection tiles. They help the Space Shuttle withstand 3,000+ F during reentry.
What are the tiles on the space shuttle called?
You are likely thinking of the High-temperature reusable surface insulation (HRSI) tiles. These are part of the larger thermal protection system (TPS) which also includes the Low-temperature Reusable Surface Insulation (LRSI) tiles, Toughened unipiece fibrous insulation (TUFI) tiles as well as the Felt reusable surface insulation (FRSI) blankets and Flexible Insulation Blankets (FIB).
What is the work of NASA?
to find out more about the solar system
What is the type of remote sensing imagery best suited to use at night?

Has a thermal protection system ever failed?
yes
Have thermal protection systems ever failed to work?
Yes.
How does the thermal energy of a system change when work is done on The system?
Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
Can work done on a system decrease its thermal energy?
Yes. As an example: if you define a refrigerator as your system, the work done on the system causes heat to be expelled from the system to the surroundings. The net heat expelled will be equal to the work input plus the decrease in its thermal energy.
How is the skeletal system work with the muscular system?
they both work together 4 movement and protection of the boby
What is true about energy that is added to a closed system?
it does work or increases thermal energy.
What is true about energy that is added to a close system?
it does work or increases thermal energy.
What has the author James D Milhoan written?
James D. Milhoan has written: 'Thermal certification tests of Orbiter Thermal Protection System tiles coated with KSC coating slurries' -- subject(s): Materials, Testing, Thermal properties
When a system does work and no heat is added to the system its temperature?
remains constant From Rafaelrz. When a simple closed system does work and no heat is added, the temperature of the system will drop. This is because the work is done at the expense of his internal energy, which is thermal energy.
Why do scuba divers wear a suit?
This is to provide thermal protection usually, though it also protects against getting cuts scrapes or stings from rocks or corals, the main reason is thermal protection
