Description:

  • LI-2200 is a relatively high density (~22 lbs/cu.ft.) and thermal conductivity fibrous insulation material with higher strength than the LI-900 baselined for use on all the shuttle orbiters. It is currently flying on all orbiters, but to a very limited extent due to itsÕ weight. It was originally developed to provide an enhanced strength RSI tile relative to LI-900.
