NONREIMBURSABLE INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT IA1-39762 BETWEENInteragency Agreement • December 6th, 2023
This IAA shall be for the purpose of leveraging the Parties' relevant research efforts to investigate the use of fibrous media as radiative thermal insulation materials. Accurate and efficient modeling is necessary to understand performance and to address design and manufacturing issues including sensitivity and tolerance issues. Efficient thermal insulation is necessary to protect entry vehicles in extreme environments. Radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer at low pressure and high temperatures, and fibrous materials have received considerable interest as thermal insulations due to their attractive radiative heat transfer properties, low mass, and flexibility. Both NASA LaRC and the AFOSR are interested in the design and manufacture of efficient fibrous insulations for entry systems and hypersonic flight. NASA LaRC is interested in low mass and flexible fibrous insulations that will provide protection from radiative heat transfer in Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelera
