  • Thermal insulation attaching means
    Patent number: 4124732
    Abstract: An improved isolation system is provided for attaching ceramic tiles of insulating material to the surface of a structure sought to be protected against extreme temperatures of the nature expected to be encountered by the space shuttle orbiter. This system isolates the fragile ceramic tiles from thermally and mechanically induced vehicle structural strains. The insulating tiles are affixed to a felt isolation pad formed of closely arranged and randomly oriented fibers by means of a flexible adhesive and in turn the felt pad is affixed to the metallic vehicle structure by an additional layer of flexible adhesive.
