Another set of heat shields, one carbon and two cork, was fabricated in Dr. Sama's lab for a re-entry experiment. They are scheduled to be sent to the International Space Station in early April. While the work was purely manufacturing-focused, it was still exciting to contribute to hardware that will go to space 🛰
