Space Shuttle Thermal Tile Demonstration
- 7 years ago
Occurred on July 7, 2011 / Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA
Info from Licensor: "I recorded this video during my Kennedy Space Center tour, one day before the launch of the Atlantis Space Shuttle for STS-135, the last Space Shuttle mission. The demonstration was being provided of the Space Shuttle thermal tile material and how quickly the outer layer sheds heat, whereas the interior layer retains heat so that you can pick it up with your bare hands almost immediately after being taken out of a 2000 degree oven."
