RETALT

RETALT "RETro propulsion Assisted Landing Technologies" is a 3-years research project supported by European Union under grant agreement No 821890

[RETALT @RETALTproject]

The RETALT Final Workshop will be organized during the FAR2022 meeting in June 2022, see https://t.co/PKNKEzYB2d. The results of the project will be presented in several sessions, as well as in a the exhibition booth with wind tunnel models and a model of the landing legs.

Launcher designed ✅
Aero-thermodynamics investigated ✅
Flight dynamics and GNC validated ✅
Mechanisms and TPS developed ✅
Now we need to ensure the #Structures of the reusable launcher 🚀♻️ will withstand the thermal and mechanical loads 🔥🦾 for a safe flight mission.

[RETALT @RETALTproject]

Discover these #Mechanisms and watch the movie 📽️ of the deployment sequence of the ACS!

For a safe flight back to earth ↗️↘️🌍 of a reusable launcher 🚀♻️👌, Aerodynamic Control Surfaces are required to control the descent trajectory, and these control surfaces are deployed and oriented thanks to complex and reliable #Mechanisms investigated in the @RETALTproject

The reusability ♻️ of a launcher strongly depends on the state in which it is recovered after a flight 🚀↗️↘️👌. The Thermal Protection System is therefore a key element in the design of a reusable launcher, and the characteristics of the TPS are studied 🧐🔥 in #RETALT project.

[RETALT @RETALTproject]

Subsonic, supersonic, hypersonic... All these flying regimes need to be investigated by mean of CFD simulations to improve the #aerodynamics of the launcher 🚀 and the efficiency of its control surfaces

[RETALT @RETALTproject]

The two configurations 🚀 investigated will face very hot conditions 🔥 during re-entry or retro-propulsion maneuvers.
It's therefore crucial to know the thermal loads in order to properly design the TPS.
