Description

Space simulation in Thermal Vacuum Chambers is one of the major tests performed for Spacecraft qualification.

During these tests, huge amount (several thousands) of parameters need to be acquired for near real time real supervision or post-test analysis.

These parameters can come from :

  • The test facility such as the command control data

  • The instrumentation on test such as the thermocouples used for the qualification

  • The Spacecraft telemetries which are running also during the test

  • Other sources of data such as simulations, test rigs, gas analyser, …

To aggregate these data and be able to deliver them to the different stakeholders of the test (test operators, satellite architects and analysts, remote customers), Airbus Defence & Space developed DynaThermaNeo solution.

DynaThermaNeo ensures the test preparation, piloting interface and near real-time acquisition. DynaThermaNeo solution is based on DynaWorks software platform developed by Airbus Defence & Space and used in-house and by external customers in Aerospace and Defence industries.

The main objectives (and stakes) of the solution are :

  • Improve process efficiency --> test cost reduction

  • Develop flexible interfaces and configurations (open solution) --> adaptability and durability

  • Develop an user friendly user interface --> training time reduction

  • Be compliant with network constraints and test means

  • Reliability on critical systems
