Don't miss the second webinar of the Space Mission Analysis and Design webinar series, where our team of experts will discuss why the design of space vehicles necessitates a comprehensive understanding of thermal, fluid, and structural domains to evaluate mission success criteria. Hear from Valerio Viti, Ian Pond and Craig Miller, PhD on this important topic! Join us to learn more about: 🎯 Vehicle thermal design considerations, focusing on passive and active thermal control systems and their impact on structural stability and component temperature management throughout all mission phases 🎯 Propulsion and fuel systems for vehicle attitude control 🎯 Structural design considerations primarily include (i) strength to maintain stability and integrity and (ii) response to dynamic loads and their dissipation

If you still haven't explored our software tool 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 🔩, it's time to get a trial version now! 🚀 Many corporate organizations, research institutes, and medium enterprises 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 have been successfully using it saving 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 annually.   𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 is suitable for the entire range of space projects from small MGSE projects to large #satellite or #launcher structures. 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 successfully passed the internal European Space Agency - ESA evaluation(see link below 👇). 📈 The documentation includes verification examples with all details of the calculations.   "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧!" - Werner Konrad, Former Head of Mechanical Analysis, Airbus Defence and Space 🛰 🛰    #boltverification #spaceengineering #engineeringsolutions https://lnkd.in/e7vaqiha

This looks spectacular but is actually the opposite of what we wanted to see here. The picture shows one of the pyro-valves of our rocket development project “SR Dorado”. In particular, it is one of the pressurization valves which control the flow of Helium into the tanks of the rocket to pressurize the propellants. It is being developed by one of our members based on an old soviet design for a fire suppression system. Testing showed us a minor (and very fixable) problem with the design as it stands: The sealant of the pyrotechnic actuator was not strong enough to contain the pressure generated by the pyro charge, blasting all the actuation gases - and a lot of sparks - out the back of the valve instead of actuating the piston of the valve. We think this is a perfect example of why verification and testing, especially of custom parts, is such an important step in engineering. Now we have the necessary information to refine the design and fix the issue before we conduct the next tests. We want to let you take part in all the ups and downs of our projects, not just the flashy success stories but also the problems we face – and they can be just as flashy! The project SR Dorado is part of the STERN III project by Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., financed by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz.

How to beat space deadlines with optical filters. Discover how Omega Optical overcame tight launch schedules to deliver a complex multi-zone filter for a satellite project. Learn about their innovative solutions and collaborative problem-solving techniques.

These are great classes to learn about the direct field acoustic testing methods from the experts.

Discover the accuracy of a mechanically assembled, all-cordierite, reflective optical system in cryogenic applications using Kyocera's CO720 and CO220 Fine Cordierite.   Although a reflective optical system can theoretically realize ideal optical designs, it is not always an optimal choice compared with a refractive system due to its challenges in achieving high wavefront accuracy. A promising solution is to build a system of mirror optics by mechanically assembling all the optical and structural components made of cordierite, which is a ceramic with a very low thermal expansion coefficient that can be mirror polished.
