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 it's 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
| “ | Based on the design of a child's toy, this heat shield uses a set of inflable rings covered with a thermal blanket to provide a generous 10 meter heat shield for reentry and deceleration, and the aerodynamic qualities of an untethered bouncy castle. | ” |
