Heat shields have long been used by spacecraft for protection while entering into planetary atmospheres. Missions to the outer solar system in the future will necessitate more advanced materials than currently available. The extreme heating conditions required to examine new shield materials are, however, very problematic to realize experimentally on Earth.
Recent attention has focused on how human astronauts will set foot on our closest neighbor, Mars. One main concern is the type and amount of fuel that will be needed to transport people and goods to the Martian surface and get astronauts back to Earth safely.
Current and future space missions will push the limits of human exploration, taking astronauts further than ever before. New research by the American Chemical Society considers the role carbon nanotubes may play in space missions.
Allectra has provided custom flanges and cables for AstroBio CubeSat (ABCS), a 3U Cubesat hosting a mini laboratory payload based on innovative lab-on chip technology suitable for research in the astrobiology science, biotechnology and pharmaceutical technologies sectors.
Allectra has supplied components and cables for the Large-Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) SWIPE and STRIP instruments.
How do the physics of falling water drops and the flexible leaf surface interact? What relevance does it have in the future of aircraft design? Scientists from IIT Bombay explain.
On 22nd and 23rd September, the Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Summit (AAMS) the international business summit dedicated to Additive Manufacturing in the aerospace industry will bring together, during two days, at the MEETT in Toulouse, France, most of the key players in this field: manufacturers, suppliers, major companies, SMEs, small companies and researchers.
Materials for aerospace applications face many challenges. The structure of an aircraft must be light yet strong.
New research published in Scientific Reports has revealed that a simple but robust algorithm can help engineers to improve the design of cellular materials that are used in a variety of diverse applications ranging from defence, bio-medical to smart structures and the aerospace sector.
Combustors are considered crucial pieces of gas engines and the chambers in which the combustion powering the engine takes place. But combustors tend to break down as a result of deadly high-frequency oscillations at the time of the combustion process.
