Listening to the SPACE PROPULSION CONFERENCE presentation of Mohamad El Atrach from ArianeGroup on "Qualification of Demisable Propellant Tank DT-180". Very interesting and highly innovative subject.

Now, in the Braga II room, we have the presentation by Evaldo Corat from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), Brazil. He is addressing the topic "Graphene Aerogels Development for Aerospace Applications." #AuxDefense2024 #DefenseInnovation #AdvancedMaterials #GrapheneAerogels #AerospaceApplications #Innovation

Commercial space enterprise is growing at a rapid rate, and each vessel that leaves our atmosphere must perform under some of the most extreme conditions imaginable. Our C-103 alloy provides a high-performance material solution for aerospace, spacecraft and launch vehicles. C-103, with niobium, stands out for its lightweight design, high thermal conductivity, cryogenic resistance and excellent weldability.

ARCLab’s MOCAT tool could take us one step closer to understanding the misunderstood Kessler Syndrome – an exponential increase in space debris caused by collisions of objects like #satellites in low Earth orbit. In Aerospace America magazine (AIAA), Prof. Richard Linares explains how it works and possible long-term scenarios: https://ow.ly/gSqN50QME6m

🚀On September 19, 1935, the "father of cosmonautics" Konstantin Tsiolkovsky died. He was a pioneer in rocket and space research and the development and use of wind tunnels for aerodynamic studies 🛰️ https://lnkd.in/d3Fhp-VA ❄️Wind tunnels are one of the pieces of equipment used in our Sound of Ice project to investigate the behavior of ice in the aeronautical sector✈️ https://lnkd.in/dfV4pBsZ #fetopen #deicing #icing #smartdeicing

The Saturn V rocket stands as an iconic symbol of human achievement, playing a pivotal role in the Space Race and setting the stage for the future of aerospace exploration. As the most powerful rocket ever built, it propelled the Apollo missions to the Moon, culminating in the historic Apollo 11 landing in 1969. The Saturn V's success not only marked a victory in the Space Race but also demonstrated the incredible potential of human ingenuity and engineering. Estes model rocketry captures the essence of this historical achievement through our new detailed Saturn V 1:100 master level builder kit, allowing enthusiasts to connect with the legacy of the Space Race in a more tangible way. As we look ahead to the future of aerospace, it is crucial to honor and preserve the spirit of innovation and exploration from that era, fostering a continued passion for space exploration and igniting the imagination of the next generation. Take a look at this clip from our head designer, John Boren! #estesrockets #apollo11 #moonlanding #spacerace #aerospace #spaceexploration #engineersofthefuture

Another Space Debris Event: Atlas 5 Centaur Fragmentation Slingshot Aerospace has just reported that an ATLAS 5 CENTAUR (43227 / 2018-022B) has broken up in a High Earth Orbit (HEO). Estimated fragmentation time of 2024-09-06 05:21 UTC. This is the FOURTH such event from an ATLAS 5 CENTAUR upper stage, with only two acknowledged by the United States so far. #spacesustainability #spacedebris #debris #spacesafety #space #spacetug

🔔 EikoSim at the forefront of two major aerospace events! We are excited to announce our participation in two upcoming conferences where we will present our work in collaboration with ArianeGroup. This is a great opportunity to showcase our advances in test-simulation data fusion in solid mechanics. 🎤 Aerospace Test and Development Show | Toulouse | September 10-11 Florent Mathieu will present: “Building simulation models credibility: what gain can we expect from test-simulation data fusion in solid mechanics”. This presentation will focus on model validation during the qualification tests of the Dual Launch Structure (DLS), a key component of the Ariane 6 launcher. 🎤 ECSSMET (European Conference on Spacecraft Structures, Materials, and Environmental Testing) | Noordwijk, The Netherlands | September 23-27 Alex Chang will present the same topic, continuing the discussion on enhancing model credibility in space structures. Link to the conferences websites in the comments. Stay tuned for more insights from these exciting events! #Aerospace #Space #Simulation #ModelValidation #EikoSim
