Consideration is given to the possibility of using 
crystalline hydrates as a source of water, on whose evaporation most 
of the heat passing to the protected surface is expended. A version 
of the thermal protection based on silica fabric, whose pores are 
partly filled with a crystalline hydrate, is studied. Test results 
are presented. Experimental data are analyzed.
