Two blocks of Aerogel foam on display at the 2014 International Astronautical Congress exhibition in Toronto, Canada. Aerogels are the lightest solid materials available because they are about 90% air. Properties such as low density and low thermal conductivity make them ideal for thermal control materials, particularly spacecraft heat shields. | |
