Title

Space Structures I Design, Development and Verification (Launch Vehicles and Space Vehicles, including their Mechanical/Thermal/ Fluidic Systems)

type

oral

Description

The topics addressed in this session cover the aspects of the design, development and verification of space launch system structures (e.g. pressurized propellant tanks, non-pressurized structures of space vehicles, control surfaces) and their components (e.g. fluidic equipment and propulsive lines, thermal control systems). The aspects of design, development, verification, and qualification concern: • Thermo-Mechanical loads and environment • New structural concepts (e.g. multi-functional structures, design concepts for reusability) • Structure design and verification (stiffness, strength, static and dynamic stability, damage tolerance, reusability) • design, verification and qualification of fluidic and thermal control systems • Structure optimization • Materials • Static and dynamic ground testing • Exploitation of flight measurements and in-orbit testing • Lessons learned related to space vehicle structures and components development, verification and qualification
