About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Damon Petty, with United Space Alliance, places pieces of insulation blanket into an “oven” for heat cleaning. The blankets fit inside the nose cap of an orbiter. They consist of layered, pure silica felt sandwiched between a layer of silica fabric (the hot side) and a layer of S-Glass fabric. The blanket is through-stitched with pure silica thread in a 1-inch grid pattern.
