Abstract
Spacecraft heat shields are fabricated as one-piece assemblies using low-density ablative thermal protection materials. The heat shield assembly is built from modular pieces formed by ablative impregnation processing. Once the full-size heat shield is assembled from the modular blocks, heat treatment is used to bond the individual blocks together by facilitating polymeric cross-linking of impregnant material within and/or between each block. This provides a structurally integral one-piece heat shield assembly that can be further machined to final dimensions and attached directly to a spacecraft structure or a carrier panel separately attached to the spacecraft
