A traditional Japanese pottery and toy manufacturer Tamiya have joined forces
to develop heat-dissipating tiles for HOPE, Japan’s uncrewed space shuttle. The
tiles are made of a natural stone and polystyrene foam, fired in a kiln for

American space shuttle, and their melting point of 1700 掳C is 200 掳C
higher. HOPE is due to launch in 2003.
