  • Integrated articulating thermal isolation system and method
    Patent number: 8632036
    Abstract: There is provided an integrated articulating thermal isolation system having an articulating actuator assembly, a support frame assembly, and a thermal blanket assembly. The thermal blanket assembly has a pair of non-articulating blankets positioned on exterior surfaces of the support frame assembly and a pair of articulating blankets disposed between the non-articulating blankets. Each articulating blanket has a plurality of stiffener elements. The system further has a harness assembly, a deployable assembly interface element, and a vehicle interface element. When the articulating actuator assembly is actuated, the articulating blankets are guided by the support frame assembly from a stowed position to a deployed position through motion of the articulating actuator assembly.
