Abstract
An attachment system for mounting a tile of a thermal protection system to a substructure includes a post assembly configured to interconnect the tile to the substructure. The post assembly may allow relative sliding movement between the tile and the substructure along a plane which is generally parallel to the tile. The attachment system facilitates installation and removal of the tile from the substructure for inspection, maintenance, and repair of the tile and/or the substructure.
