CRYO-LABORATORY FOR TEST AND DEVELOPMENT OF PROPELLANT MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Kurzfassung

As a result of growing global launcher market, the European launcher industry is under intense competitive constraints. An efficient and intelligent propellant management on the launcher system is one of the key technologies for a long-term market success and a successful mission performance. For the maturation of new technologies corresponding laboratory and testing facilities are of essential necessity. The paper gives an overview on the test capabilities of the Cryo-Lab at the DLR Institute of Space Systems in Bremen. The test possibilities of the Cryo-Lab and the available test facilities will be presented.
