For decades, Sandia National Laboratories' National Solar Thermal Test Facility has harnessed the power of the sun to expose aerospace materials to intense heat, replicating the harsh conditions of faster-than-sound flight and atmospheric reentry to ensure the materials' ability to protect the rest of the vehicle. The most recent of these tests is in support of two exciting NASA missions.
