2 – Deflector cooling system for launch and long duration testing

Name of the system:

Deflector cooling system for launch and long-duration testing

Lead entity within the SAMMBA consortium:

MT Aerospace

Attachment point within the process chain of the Spaceport operator:

The system responsible for cooling the deflectors for launch and long-duration testing (?)

Major benefit [KPI] within the process chain: [cost reduction/processing time reduction/reliability
increase – preferably with quantitative figures]

Increase in reliability: The system can be used for testing and launch

Increase in availability: The system decreases the maintenance time due to the concept (singles tiles)

Anticipated R&D vector for the near/mid/long-term:

Near-term: operational in large scale
Mid-term: operational for bigger launchers

Modularity granted with the following standards:

The deflector cooling system for launch and long-duration testing doesn’t require special modifications and can be used at any spaceport.

Interoperability granted with the following standards:

IF to water source for active cooling

Systems interfaced:

Launch base, mechanical structures
