5 – Qualification of Zn-galvanised steel substrate for launch pad applications
Name of the system:
Qualification of Zn-galvanised steel substrate for launch pad applications
Lead entity within the SAMMBA consortium:
MT Aerospace
Attachment point within the process chain of the Spaceport operator:
To be used in any steel structure on the launch pad
Major benefit [KPI] within the process chain: [cost reduction/processing time reduction/reliability
increase – preferably with quantitative figures]
Increase in reliability: Long-life
Increase in availability: reduced maintainence
Anticipated R&D vector for the near/mid/long-term:
Near-term: industrialisation of structures
Mid-term: implementation on launch pad
Modularity granted with the following standards:
The Zn-galvanised steel substrate doesn’t require special modifications and can be used at any spaceport
Interoperability granted with the following standards:
Mechanical structures
Systems interfaced:
Launcher, Launch base, AGV, mechanical structures
