Coming soon... Ariane 6 Another successful test of an Ariane 6 component. The upper stage was tested at the German space agency (DLR) facility near Lampholdshausen in a special test rig. Testing is a big part of launcher / satellite development. It requires skilled staff, special facilities, masses of sensors and recording capabilities plus the skills and tools to analyse the results. Staff must be able to distinguish between test set up induced anomalies and "real" anomalies.... which sounds simpler than it is. A fascinating field to work in.

The recent hot firing test of the #Ariane6 upper stage at the German Aerospace Center (DLR)'s P5.2 test stand was a success.✅🚀 The test focused on demonstrating operation of the upper stage under non-nominal conditions, notably of the APU (Auxiliary Propulsion Unit) which is unique hardware that allows Ariane 6 to be a versatile launcher and launch a diverse roster of missions. German Aerospace Center (DLR) and ArianeGroup teams carried out a test sequence profile that included loading the stage tanks and preparing for flight.

It's an exciting time for the aerospace industry. As written in a recent edition of THE BRIDGE, we've not seen this level of activity and interest in space since the 1960s. One of the key trends that Deloitte identified in the aerospace and defense industry for 2024 is that industry spending is helping drive growth and innovation. From increased demand for passenger flights to advancements in emerging markets and a rise in new players, such as India's robotic probes flown in lunar and Martian orbits, there are many developments to keep an eye on. https://lnkd.in/eK2X8526

Thank you to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal for the interaction on: Transition in the Hypersonic Boundary Layer by Prof. Cunbiao Lee In simple words: The transition in the hypersonic boundary layer refers to the change from smooth(laminar) airflow to chaotic(turbulent) airflow over the surface of an object moving at hypersonic speeds (more than five times the speed of sound). This transition affects heat transfer, drag, and stability of the object, like a spacecraft or missile. My question was on climate change, caused by increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, slowing [damaging] the hypersonic flight mechanisms down. The answer to it: "Thank you. The climate change and air pollution can induce great change to the gas composition, but the climate change itself may have little effect on the transitional physics."

MIL-STD-810G, specifically Test 500.5, addresses altitude testing for military equipment. This standard includes four test procedures: Procedure I: Storage and Transportation This test evaluates the effects of altitude on equipment during storage and transportation. It considers factors like pressure changes, temperature variations, and humidity levels. Procedure II: Operation of Equipment Test focuses on how equipment functions at different altitudes. It tests the equipment's performance, safety, and functionality under varying atmospheric pressures typically encountered during operation. Procedure III: Decompression This test simulates sudden decompression scenarios, such as rapid altitude changes in aircraft. It assesses how equipment responds to abrupt pressure drops, ensuring it remains operational and safe during such events. Procedure IV: Rapid Decompression This procedure is designed to test the equipment's resilience to rapid and extreme decompression situations. It assesses the equipment's ability to withstand instantaneous pressure changes, which are critical for aircraft applications. These procedures help validate equipment's suitability for use in high-altitude environments, ensuring it can withstand the unique challenges posed by altitude changes, pressure differentials, and related factors. #MILSTD810G #MilitaryTesting #MilitaryStandards #MilitaryEquipment #TestProcedures #MilitaryTechnology #AltitudeTesting #EnvironmentalTesting #ReliabilityTesting #MilitaryCompliance Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Airbus Defence and Space, ratheyon ratheyon, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Safran, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies Toulouse, Collins Aerospace, GE Aerospace, ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, SpaceX, Sierra Space, Skyroot Aerospace, Envisys Technologies Pvt Ltd, weisstechnik, Thermotron Industries, エスペック株式会社＿ESPEC CORP., Cincinnati Sub-Zero, CLIMATS, Angelantoni Test Technologies India Pvt.
