Abstract

Aerogel is a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component of the gel
has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with extremely low density and low thermal conductivity Launching a
heavy lift system into low Earth and geosynchronous orbits. By this study we can compare the merits of aerogel over
Multi Layer Insulation(MLI)
