Transparent super-hydrophobic monolithic silica aerogels are prepared by the cost-effective ambient pressure drying. The drying of aerogel is performed at various temperatures ranging from 25 to 200$^{\circ}$C. Oxidation states of different silica aerogels are investigated by XPS which shows the presence of both SiO and SiO$_2$ phases. Thermal stability of hydrophobic aerogel is found as $\sim$320$^{\circ}$C investigated by TGA and DSC. The chemical bonds (i.e., $–$CH$_3$) responsible for the hydrophobic (WCA > 170$^{\circ}$) nature of synthesized silica aerogels are identified by FTIR. Further, out-gassingproperties of the silica aerogels have been investigated and they are found in limit for the space application. The highest hardness and Young’s modulus are measured by the nanoindentation technique for the aerogel dried at 120$^{\circ}$C which has higher density, while density decreases for the aerogel dried at 200$^{\circ}$C and the corresponding nanomechanical propertiesare found to be lowest as expected.
