The Heat Shield (10m) was introduced in version 1.1. Unlike other heat shields, the 10m heat shield uses a large inflated surface instead of ablator to slow down the space craft to which it is attached.
When inflated, the shield has a diameter of 10m, but is 2.5m in diameter in its uninflated state.
It costs 2400 Funds and weighs 1.5 tons. has a maximum temperature of 3,500 Kelvin. It also has an impact tolerance of 9 m/s.
Product description

Trivia
- A smaller scale inflatable heat shield was successfully tested by NASA in 2009.[1]
- It also appeared to be able to float on Kerbin's water without flipping.
Changes
- Moved from Aero to Thermal
- Added ModuleLiftingSurface
- Initial release
