NASA’s Space Shuttle tiles, primarily the LI-900 silica tiles, are made from nearly pure quartz sand and can withstand temperatures up to 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite being red hot, these tiles are such poor heat conductors that they can be held by the edges without burning. This advanced material prevents heat transfer to the shuttle’s aluminum skin, ensuring the safety of the structure and crew during re-entry. These tiles are crucial for space missions, as they protect the shuttle from t

How does a space shuttle tile protect the astronauts inside? Museum Educator Emily explains how shuttle tiles are made of glass and air, so they are incredibly good thermal insulators. That means you can melt a penny on top of a shuttle tile, while the marshmallows underneath remain untoasted! #Science #Spaceship #ScienceExperiment #WomenInSTEM | Museum of Science, Boston

Ancient on Instagram: "The Space Shuttle tiles can glow red hot at 2200 degrees Fahrenheit and still be safe to touch because they're made of 99.9% pure silica glass fibers with 94% air by volume. The material is essentially a rigid foam of glass wool that traps air pockets and conducts heat extremely slowly. Its thermal conductivity is only 0.036 to 0.126 watts per meter kelvin, which is about half as conductive as rubber or wood. The tiles weigh just 9 pounds per cubic foot, so even at extreme

Explore l Learn l Facts on Instagram: "NASA's space shuttle tiles, known as Thermal Protection System (TPS) tiles, are designed to withstand extreme temperatures up to 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1,260°C) during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. These tiles are made from a special type of silica material that is 90% air, making them incredibly lightweight and heat-resistant. Despite being cool enough to touch just seconds after exposure to intense heat, the tiles effectively insulate the spa
