ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses systems for mounting heat shields onto a spacecraft. It shows a number of ways to attach heat shield tiles in a way that allows for and accommodates the thermal expansion and contraction of the tiles without overstressing them and without loosing them due to delamination of adhesives. Shown also are various fasteners, which are flexible in several directions and which should preferably be oriented to provide the least resistance to the expected deformations of the tiles.
