What Does TPS Stand For?
TPS stands for Thermal Protection Subsystem
The Thermal Protection Subsystem (TPS) is a critical component designed to shield spacecraft and satellites from extreme temperatures and thermal stresses encountered during launch, atmospheric re-entry, and various mission phases. By utilizing advanced materials and engineering techniques, the TPS effectively prevents damage to sensitive systems and ensures the structural integrity of the vehicle, contributing to mission success and longevity.
