ABSTRACT = {The Single-sided Guarded Hot Plate Method for Comparative Testing of Thermal Radiation Barriers in Vacuum was used to evaluate the 
performance of a variety of aerogel insulation specimens manufactured by Aspen Aerogels® against one another and against multi-layer insulation 
(MLI). Testing at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) shows that the effective thermal resistance, <i>R<sub>e</sub></i>, of all tested aerogel specimens are 
virtually bounded by the performance of 5-layer and 10-layer MLI specimens over a mean specimen temperature, <i>T<sub>m</sub></i>, range of about 270K to 315K.},
