What is SpaceX heat shield made of?
The SpaceX heat shield will use PICA- X, which is their version of Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablator (PICA). directly from FMI or the carbon base block can be purchased from FMI and made from that. SpaceX gets the carbon block from FMl and produces PICA-X themselves, which is a variant on PICA.
