Unveiling the Importance of Demisability Testing: Precision and Simplicity with Our Radiant Heater Service

By Volker Liedtke|2024-02-20T09:07:12+01:0020. February 2024|Space|

In the realm of re-entry testing, ensuring the safe disintegration of returning spacecraft parts is paramount. At AAC, we underscore the critical significance of demisability tests. These tests simulate the early stages of re-entry and indicate that components disintegrate already at high altitude during re-entry, mitigating potential damage and safeguarding the overall integrity of your mission. Discovering a Straightforward Solution for Precise Demisability Testing Our radiant heater service offers a simplified yet highly precise solution [...]

Enhancing Satellite Resilience: The Practical Significance of Thermal Vacuum Bakeouts for MLI in Satellite Missions

By Gerald Schober|2024-02-14T09:22:29+01:0014. February 2024|Space|

Operating in the challenging environment of space, satellites contend with extreme temperature fluctuations, radiation exposure, and the vacuum of the cosmos. Essential for fortifying these satellites against such harsh conditions and ensuring their longevity, Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) emerges as a key protective measure. This thermal insulation method, comprised of reflective foil layers separated by low-conductance spacer materials, plays a pivotal role in regulating temperature and maintaining the resilience of satellites in the unpredictable realm of [...]

Outgassing of materials in vacuum

By Roland Holzbauer|2024-01-30T08:06:36+01:0030. January 2024|Space|

Outgassing of materials in vacuum is often treated neglectfully. Typically, only one side of the equation is considered, such as the loss of oil in a bearing. However, the potentially fatal consequences of oil resublimation onto an optical instrument may be ignored. - There is no one in space to wipe down a lens that has a hazy film of oil on it. As a rule of thumb, warm surfaces are more likely to outgas [...]

The mysteries of slip rings

By Roland Holzbauer|2023-11-20T14:52:05+01:0020. November 2023|Consulting, Energy, Industry, Space|

A slip ring (in electrical engineering terms) is a method of making an electrical connection through a rotating assembly. Slip rings, also called rotary electrical interfaces, rotating electrical connectors, collectors, swivels, or electrical rotary joints, are commonly found in all rotary systems with electrical connections of sensors and receptors. They are a common building block in terrestrial and space applications, e.g. wind turbines, computer tomography scanners, solar arrays in space and many more. Tribological characterization [...]

Novel materials and products, before their final application, must undergo a series of rigorous tests to demonstrate their ability to withstand physical, chemical, and/or environmental challenges. Autoclave testing provides a comprehensive evaluation by subjecting the materials to a combination of liquid, temperature, pressure, and, when necessary, different atmospheric conditions (such as air, Ar, N2) to simulate real-world scenarios in a controlled laboratory environment. These conditions are highly effective for simulating extreme conditions and rapidly assessing [...]
