Space Shuttle Thermal Protection System

Great book from a very knowledgeable space enthusiast. The complexity of the sapce shuttle is generally missunderstood by the general observer. This book describes the process and technique used to create the tiles plus the reasoning behind the manufacturing. The engineers were ingenious who created this heat shield. Much thanks Mr. Milgrom for your enlightening book.

Incredibly interesting read! Well written, great photos....if you have any interest in understanding and learning more about our space shuttle program, this book is for you! Fantastic!

I had no idea how complex the critical shuttle thermal protection system was. Milgrom does a great job of explaining the system with great photo illustrations and easy to read text. This book is a testament to the brilliant engineers and technicians who made it work. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the history of space travel and creative problem solving.
