The Kentucky Re-entry Universal Payload System is a low-cost, micro-satellite spacecraft intended to collect real-time data and aid analysis of thermal protection systems during entry, descent, and landing mission phases. It is also uniquely positioned to provide a universal payload system platform for secondary scientific payloads while in Low Earth Orbits. For our project, we are going to research, design, fabricate, and test a design for the Thermal Protection System that will encapsulate the KRUPS system, that will protect it from both the heat fluxes as well as the pressure-induced stresses.
