session 7

Title

Manufacturing and industrialization for Launch Vehicle and Space Vehicle Structures and components (High volume production, industrialization, automatization and digitalization)

type

oral

Description

This session will focus on manufacturing, inspection and testing technologies to enable efficient high volume production for launch vehicle and spacecraft structures as well as components. This includes industrialization aspects of series production as e.g. high cadences automatization design, design-to-manufacturing concepts and lean production principles. Other topics covered are the use of digitalization in particular of artificial intelligence, AR, VR, machine learning, digital twins and real-time manufacturing data evaluation to support spacecraft production.
