机械设计和aerodynamics of the future European launcher
Modular, flexible and competitive, thenew European launcheris intended to provide the best launch solution tobusinesses and institutionsby2023. As a historical partner of aerospace manufacturers, ALTEN actively participates in their development in various fields (structure, thermal, flight mechanical engineering, etc.).
Withover 10 years’ experiencespace mechanical engineering professions, ALTEN helps its clients at several levels of the development and upcoming production of its launcher:
- The mechanical architecture of the launcher: definition of the concept, mechanical design, stress calculation, fluid mechanics simulation, thermal calculation, etc.
- Aerodynamics: the most aerodynamic launcher possible, minimize drag and unnecessary loads, etc.
Similarly, for each of the launches from the European Spaceport (Kourou), our engineers conductthermal studiesto ensure good satellite flight conditions (fluid flow calculations under the nose cone to avoid high temperature levels that could damage satellites).
In addition, ALTEN is also involved in mission control activities of:
