【 摘 要 】

Heat-shield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) has been in development since 2014 with the goal of enabling missions to Venus, Outer Planets, and high-speed sample return missions. It is nearing successful completion and will be delivered by March of 2019. The 15 min presentation at the VEXAG will report on the HEEET development completed to-date and remaining testing and documentations prior to delivery of a TRL 6 technology.
