Abstract
An ablator is provided to improve a fuselage protection performance while having flexibility. The ablator includes a base material formed from fiber, granular resin, and binder resin impregnated in the fiber to couple the granular resin and the base material.
Claims9
An ablator comprising:
- abase material formed from fiber,
- granular resin;
- and
- binder resin impregnated in the base material to couple the granular resin and the base material,
- wherein a content of the hinder resin contained in the ablator is adjusted so that the ablator has flexibility.
2 more elements
A re-entry, vehicle comprising:
- an ablator;
- and
- a fuselage main unit on which the ablator is installed,
- wherein the ablator comprises:
- a base material formed from fiber;
- granular resin;
- and
- hinder resin impregnated in the fiber to couple, the granular resin and the base material,
- wherein a content of the binder resin contained in the ablator is adjusted so that the ablator has flexibility.
6 more elements
A method, of manufacturing an ablator, the method comprising:
- preparing material solution;
- impregnating a base material formed from fiber with the material solution which contains uncured hinder resin and clued granular resin;
- and
- curing the uncured binder resin after the impregnating with the material solution,
- wherein a content of the uncured binder resin contained in the material solution is adjusted so that the ablator has flexibility after the curing.
2 more elements
