There are 3 main categories of insulators used in spacecrafts:

1. foams: organic and inorganic;

2. fibrous insulations: for internal and external insulation and for high temperature environments

3. multilayer insulations (MLI): layers of radiation reflecting shields.

Properties, thermal behaviour and application areas of the insulation materials used in spacecrafts are detailed in this Part 7.
