Engine Thrust Vectoring Control
Description:
Custom designed load pins provide feedback to guidance systems for control of engine thrust vectoring.
Product:
Custom Instrumented Load Pin
Special Requirement:
High temperature, high vibration, size and shape limitations
NASA Mars Rovers (Curiosity and Perseverance)
Description:
Designed forty-two custom sensors for the NASA Curiosity and Perseverance Mars rovers.
Product:
A mix of various custom force sensors
Special Requirements:
Durability, accuracy and reliability of force sensing on Mars, a very challenging and harsh environment
NASA X-38 Vehicle Demonstrator
Description:
Strainsert designed a custom sensor to provide force measurements on the vehicle landing skid and para foil.
Product:
Custom Instrumented Load Pin
Special Requirement:
Flight hardware: high load combined with impact loading conditions, limited design envelope and NDT testing
Satellite Separation and Deployment
Description:
Provide accurate bolt tensioning of Satellite Separation bolts and V-band studs. Separation bolts are used to apply the proper tensioning (preload) of satellite components such that the bolts will secure the rocket stage components through launch, but will also allow for Satellite components to release during separation and deployment.
Product:
Special Custom Internally Gaged Separation and Release Bolts/Studs
Special Requirement:
Space Environment, Outgassing restrictions. Instrumentation of customer supplied bolts and studs. Quality inspections and traceability requirements.
