00 / Mission brief

Pineapple peel for next-generation heat shields.

The Ananas Hypothesis proposes pineapple peel ablative composite materials as a testable route toward safer spacecraft thermal protection.

Brief

This is the opening frame: a scientific case, not a finished flight claim. The work begins with a failure mode, then asks whether a bio-derived char architecture can keep gases moving when heat flux changes.
