- What is the heatshield?
The ablative substance of the Gemini heatshield was a paste-like silicone elastomer material that hardened after being poured into a honeycomb form. The heatshield was designed to protect the fragile spacecraft from the enormous heat of re-entry into the atmosphere. Re-entry began at a velocity of more than 27,500 kilometers (17,000 miles) per hour.
