  "Components of a reentry capsule for KREPE, which validates numerical models for Thermal Protection Systems (TPSs) that protect vehicles and their contents during re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. Three of these capsules depart the space station in a Cygnus resupply spacecraft, deploy when Cygnus re-enters the atmosphere, and collect and transmit thermal data from various sensors."
