Abstract

HTV-R aims to return payloads from the ISS to the Earth in the near future mission. This system contains new technologies for reentry, especially a thermal protection system with low-density ablator. This paper describes technical issues and basic research of the thermal protection system for HTV-R to realize Japanese return missions from the ISS.
