IRT Saint Exupery is proud to publish an open dataset dedicated to vision based navigation for space rendezvous ! Space rendezvous, the capability for two space satellites to make contact, is crucial for the European space industry, enabling advancements in orbit debris management, human exploration missions, and space services like repairs and transport. At IRT[…]
Three years after the launch of the initial SiCRET project, SiCRET+, a project which began in October 2023, is extending the scope of its study to include silicon carbide (SiC) power modules. The aim is to understand the ageing of power modules in normal and degraded operation, and in harsh environments (temperature, humidity, radiation), in[…]
In a context where European regulations will eventually require a massive restriction of the use of fluorinated polymers, GRINHELEC (GReen INsulation for High power ELECtrical harnesses) project intends to make possible the use of a bio-sourced insulation in effort to supplant the fluorinated insulators of the cables dedicated for electric propulsion. This project is part[…]
FREEzING 2, encouraged by the promising results obtained from FREEzING (2019-2023), starts at the beginning of March 2024. The aim of the project is to continue the development of durable icephobic surfaces using various surface treatment processes for aeronautical applications, and to assess their performances in a representative environment close to flight test. Project background[…]
