Abstract:
Flame deflectors for rocket launchpads have historically been constructed on-site by spraying on a layer of refractory cement material, resulting in large monolithic structures which lack durability and are vulnerable to degradation by ambient weather. By assembling together a plurality of metal modules and refractory material modules, one obtains a flame deflector structure whose set of modules is matched to an expected heat distribution pattern of the exhaust from the rocket to be launched. Further, modules can be prefabricated at another location, under controlled conditions, and subsequently installed. In case of damage during a launch, any damaged modules can be swapped out and replaced by new modules, thereby minimizing cost and downtime before a subsequent launch event. The modules can be made more weather-resistant by applying an epoxy sealant to their rocket-facing surfaces.

Claim (Index 4):
The flame deflector of  claim 2 , wherein\n said front face of said refractory material module consists essentially of a phenolic ablative material having a specific gravity about 1.3 and a Shore hardness value about 90.
