Engineering and Management of Space Systems (EMSS) - an international joint Master's double-degree program
PublicationDynamic development of the space sector of European, and especially of Polish and German economies results in a necessity for suitable Higher Education Institution graduates. The increasing digitization, distribution and networking of technical systems leads to the necessity of a degree programme teaching “the systems view” and “interdisciplinarity” methods and skills. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider the entire life cycle...

A device for measuring heat flux on a rocket skin surface
PublicationA novel method for measuring heat flux on a surface is presented. It is an extensive upgrade of currently known heat flux sensors used mostly in civil engineering. As the thermal environment of launchers, especially sounding rocket can have an enormous negative effect on payload, careful considerations have to be taken in the process of preparing insulation. Usually, thermal data provided by the launch vehicle manufacturer is limited...

Combined environmental testing device for picosatellites
PublicationAs access to space conditions becomes more available, both technically and economically, scientists’ interest in launching finer and more sophisticated experiments grows. To be qualified for launch, such experiments need to be carefully tested prior to the event. The tests should represent actual launch conditions as closely and in a detailed manner. Typical tests for payload include: vibration tests, thermal and vacuum tests,...

Investigating lubricants behaviour in microgravity for vibration damping purposes
PublicationVibration is one of the harshest environments an object is exposed to during and after launch into space on a launch vehicle. Such vibrations should be damped to avoid destruction of the spacecraft or its elements. Currently, active and material damping is used. A possibility of using lubrication as the damping factor is suggested by some research. MoS2 is a typical solid lubricant used in space applications. Its properties vary...

Sounding rocket vibration mechanical filter and amplifier
PublicationMeasuring accelerations and vibrations of a sounding rocket provides both information for engineers on the launcher vehicle performance as well as environment description for future payload designers. Typically, information on the level of vibration and eigenfrequencies are required to properly design a payload. This paper presents a design of a novel mechanical filter and amplifier for mechanical vibrations. Its key feature is...

Preliminary results from HEDGEHOG REXUS project – A sounding rocket experiment on accelerations, vibrations and heat flow
PublicationDuring flight, a sounding rocket is subject to a unique environment - severe vibrations and substantial heat flux. In order to design payloads, precise measurement of these conditions is required. This paper presents preliminary results from HEDGEHOG REXUS Project, whose scientific goal was to characterise the thermal and dynamic environment of REXUS sounding rockets. For this purpose, two new sensors have been designed - mechanical...

Wstępne wyniki projektu GDArms - odtwarzanie środowiska rakiety kosmicznej
PublicationW trakcie wynoszenia na ładunek rakiety działają przyspieszenia, drgania, przepływ ciepła oraz zmiany ciśnienia atmosferycznego. Według aktualnych norm i standardów, przed lotem testy środowiskowe są wykonywane sekwencyjnie. Autorzy przedstawili projekt urządzenia do odtwarzania środowiska rakiety kosmicznej. Urządzenie zostało zbudowane na bazie gotowego wzbudnika elektrodynamicznego. Zaprojektowano układy sterowania układów:...

Preliminary results from HEDGEHOG REXUS Project - sounding rocket experiment on accelerations, vibrations and heat flow
PublicationAs access to space conditions becomes more available, both technically and economically, scientists' interest in launching finer and more sophisticated experiments grows. This applies now more than ever to fragile by nature biological and chemical experiments. To be qualified for launch, such experiments need to be carefully tested prior to the event. The tests should represent actual launch conditions as closely and in as detailed...

Projekt urządzenia do odtwarzania warunków panujących w rakiecie kosmicznej
PublicationElementy wynoszone w przestrzeń kosmiczną rakietami są poddawane wymagającym warunkom takim jak przyspieszenia, drgania, przepływ ciepła, próżnia. Zanim ładunek, np. satelita zostanie zakwalifikowany do lotu, musi przejść szereg testów, które zweryfikują jego zdolność do przetrwania procesu wyniesienia. Wadą typowych testów jest oddzielne symulowanie reżimów: dynamicznego, termicznego i próżniowego, przez co warunki panujące podczas...

High-quality Experiment Dedicated to microGravity Exploration, Heat Flow and Oscillation Measurement from Gdańsk
PublicationIn this paper we propose HEDGEHOG (High-quality Experiment Dedicated to microGravity Exploration, Heat flow and Oscillation measurement from Gdańsk) REXUS experiment to investigate vibrational and heat flow phenomena during the whole (ascent, microgravity phase, descent and recovery) flight of a sounding rocket. First, a proposed system of cantilever beams is discussed to study dynamic behaviour of dummy payload. Dimensioning has...
