Background and justification:

The test was performed down to a temperature of 120K.

A shock attenuation device improving the filtering efficiency of the current shock attenuator devices has been developed keeping the load capability domain, the stiffness linearity and r

Arquimea suggests a new HDRA (REACT) base on a novel SMA material (SMARQ) with increased temperature performance capabilities able to overcome the current temperature limitations of similar devices. REACT can work in the range of temperatures of -60ºC to 120ºC with a minimum preload of 100N. Other important advantages of the proposed technology are its lightweight, high force to weight ratio and low volume, which makes it especially attractive in space applications.

ESPSS is concerned with setting up a common European platform for propulsion system simulation. Such a common platform is identified as crucial in order to strengthen the European company’s competence in propulsion system modelling. ESPSS is proposed as a framework for continuous cooperation on space propulsion systems between European industries working on such kind of systems.

Arquimea suggests a new Pin Puller base on a novel SMA material (SMARQ) with increased temperature performance capabilities able to overcome the current temperature limitations of similar devices. The European Pin Puller can work in the range of temperatures of -50ºC to 125ºC with a minimum pull force of 100N. Other important advantages of the proposed technology are its lightweight, high force to weight ratio and low volume, which makes it especially attractive in space applications.

X BAND DOWNLINK ANTENNA EQM S/N: 001 has been designed, manufactured and tested at EQM levels.
From the initial to the final RF electrical tests, the performances do not suffer any degradation ( neither shock test nor random test).
No damage has been detected during the overall vibration test sequence:
Vibration test:
- On axes X and Y no significant frequency shifting (higher than 10%) and response
amplitude variation (higher than 50%) are measured between each sine survey.
