NASA have successfully tested a new inflatable heat shield made of silicone-coated Kevlar that can be used in future space missions to help slow down and protect astronauts from the searing heat of re-entry.
NASA launched an inflatable spacecraft heat shield on Monday to test the technology for use on future space missions. The test flight lofted a vacuum-packed shroud atop a small sounding rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va.
