Our client from the aerospace industry, as part of their mission to deflect ionising radiation from satellite components, required assistance in the design of a prototype shield enclosure that would incorporate their novel protective technology.

 

We designed a prototype for experimental testing based on the client's requirements and after reviewing relevant regulations and standards. In contact with space launcher stations, we derive a loading envelope and developed an assessment methodology using FEA.  Starting from the prototype design, we performed several sets of analysis to determine the final optimised design of the device. In particular, we performed thermo-structural, modal, harmonic, random vibration analyses to rapidly increase the technical readiness level of the technology.

​

Our work provided the client with a complete design to implement their technology safely and with confidence on satellite components that would be launched into space, aiding their goal to increase the effectiveness and reliability of radiation damage mitigation technologies.
