About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Damon Petty, with United Space Alliance, removes a piece of insulation blanket from an “oven” after 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.
