TestRig Symposium

When building a rocket there is a whole flight certification process, and qualification is an important part of that. It proves the hardware meets the requirements and performs the way it is designed to do. Of all parts of a rocket, the engine section is perhaps the most critical during launch. The weight of the massive rocket is pushing down, while the engines are pushing up with millions of pounds of thrust. Whether it is an engine for experimental rockets or for commercial spaceflight, adequate testing is critical to the success of each launch program.

Gantner Instruments, in partnership with The University of Cyprus, researches the controllability of renewable energy sources in local self-operated Smart Micro-Grid using innovative data streaming solutions including Crate.io.

The automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift toward electric vehicles (EVs), making battery technology a central focus for innovation. As consumer demand for EVs grows, reliable battery performance and safety have become more critical than ever. At the heart of guaranteeing reliability is thorough, methodical battery cell testing. Below, we explore why cell testing is so vital, how it’s done, and the key challenges in today’s market.

In November 2016 the Airbus A350-1000 flew for the very first time. The A350-1000 is part of the A350 XWB family and is Airbus’ largest and most powerful twin-engined airliner ever. Airbus began the assembly of the A350-1000 in September, 2015, less than a year after the first delivery of the A350-900. For maximum flexibility, the existing A350 XWB Final Assembly Line (FAL) can be used for both A350-900 and A350-1000 models.
