About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The thermal protection system blanket insulation (foreground) has been hand-sewn onto a frame before being installed inside Endeavour's Reinforced Carbon-Carbon nose cap, seen in the background, in the NASA Kennedy Space Center Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2. Made of a woven ceramic fabric, the special blankets are used to help insulate the vehicle's nose cap and protect it from the extreme temperatures it will face during a mission.
