Rigid / mechanically deployed heat shield. When stowed, should fold up to standard stack diameter.

Current vision is to use folding 'leaves' in multiple layers. Or perhaps compound leaves that themselves have fold-out side-panels.

• Part should have configurable size/diameter/scale and heat-shield type (light/med/hvy/x-hvy).
• Part should feature integrated decouplers on both top and bottom, with the ability to toggle the staging for each.
• Part should also feature an integrated shroud surrounding the panels that can be jettisoned (SSTUNodeFairing).
