AI Thread Summary
European standards for space systems primarily focus on launch vehicles, but there is a need for specific guidelines regarding payload fairings. The discussion highlights the importance of a test sequence for payload fairings, referencing ECSS E-10-03A, which outlines testing for general space vehicles. Participants express concern over fairing failures that have led to satellite launch losses, indicating a demand for established testing protocols. The inquiry seeks to confirm whether a dedicated test sequence for payload fairings is available. Establishing such standards could enhance the reliability of satellite launches.

Hi y'alllll!

Need some guidance on a little issue,

As you very well know, european standards (ecss) exist for space systems but they are generally outlined for launch vehicles. Do specific standards exist for payload fairings? For example a test sequence is outlined for general space vehicles in (ecss e-10-03A) which is :

Does a test sequence such as this exist for payload fairings?

Given that fairings failures have caused a number of satellite launch losses, I'm certain that such a sequence exists.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
