abstract = "The properties of a Thermal Protection System (TPS) have crucial impact on the success of a reentry mission and the proper design of a space vehicle. TPS are mainly cooled by radiation, which prevents the temperature of the surface material to exceed its melting point. This capability of radiative cooling is strongly dependent on the chemical and on the optical properties of coating. This work reports the result of in-situ measurements of catalytic and oxidative behaviour conducted on TPS material of Dipartimento di Ingegneria Astronautica Elettrica ed Energetica of Sapienza Universita di Roma in the framework of ASA Phase B2 program and cover a large range of typical hypersonic reentry conditions.",
