Space competences



TRADE-OFF STUDIES

 

There are always numerous solutions for one problem. Decision on which one to select for further development shall be based on carefull trade-off analysis of all advatanges and drawbacks.  We utilize the best practices of system engineering end concurrent design. 

 


SPECIFICATION DEFINITIONS

 

In order to build a functional system, our engineers specify all details of subsystems and components and search for reliable subpliers. Specifications are created according to ECSS standarts and can be easily incorporated into the project documentation. 


OPTIMIZED MECHANICAL DESIGN

 

The mechanical design of our products is based on analysis from the very beginning. Using coupled CAD/FEM tool, our mechanical designers and analysts can minimize the number of  design iterations. Experience with the product tree managenent for space flight projects is essential.


STRUCTURAL AND THERMAL ANALYSIS

 

Detailed structural and thermal analyses are essential for the space system development. Structural dynamics and thermal control using the finite element tool Nastran, Ansys, Thermica and ESATAN is out daily bread.

 


ADVANCED ANALYSIS

 

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), fluid -structure interaction (FSI), shock problems, fast transient events, acoustics, inflatable structures, creep, fatigue....

Most of the problems on the Earth and in the Space are nonlinear and we know how to grasp them using the state of the art tools such as Ansys, LS-Dyna and others.

 


MANUFACTURING

 

Complete and clear manufacturing documentation and its management is conditional to a successful production . We keep close partnerships with renowned local manufacturing companies, therefore we can always offer components of outstanding quality. 

We are in the certification process of our Additive Layer Manufacturing for space applications.


TEST SPECIFICATIONS AND PLANING

 

We are able to prepare specifications and plans for all kinds of spaceflights related tests:

> Environmental

> Funtional

> Material charakterization

> Custom tailored measurements

 


TEST EVALUATION


We conduct tests at specified facilities. By thorough evaluation of the test results and correlation of mathematical models, our engineers can confirm compliance of the article for launch or make design decisions. Comprehensible test reports for our customers are matter of course.
