Description
Sonoma Aerospace will leverage prior work on high performance pintle actuators for Long Duration, Divert and Attitude Control Systems to extend the operational performance to 1000 seconds or longer. The technologies to be employed include an integrated thermal modelling approach that balances thermal mass, insulation and heat absorption materials along with the highest temperature tolerant components available for Electro-mechanical actuators. The result is a data set, simulation and physics based models that will be validated via hot fire test during phase 1 and can be extrapolated to multiple applications in the future.
