Attachable heatshield [REQUEST/Search]

[SpaceGreer]

Hi everyone

Is there such a thing as a attachable heatshield? Ie. Squares you can radially attach to create a bespoke/custom.hearshield?

My current vehicle is robust during reentry except for the engine mount - so it would be great to add some shielding.

Any ideas or pointers would be really appreciated! Cheers! R

You would need KIS, if you bring a big enough container, you should be able to attach it

Thanks - are you referring to the inflatable one?

I mean small panels you can attach with a high heat tolerance, like tiles - so you can make a custom heatshield no matter the vehicle shape. (For example, you have a fuel tank with a 1400K heat limit, so you attach the files and they have a 3000K limit or ablator, and it makes a heatshield).

In this exact instance I've got a 5m, starship.

(Thanks for all your mod btw, really appreciated.)

I tried it with radiator panels...didn't work. The engine mount still overheated. (It's the NUR-1 upper stage mount from near future launchers).
