[Logbook Entry 29/08/2024] 🚧 No summer slowdown for us as our team is working actively to bring #Navier to life 🚧 Flight engine tests campaign approaches with the ongoing integration of our custom designed #TestBench. Latitude tests Teams have successfully assembled the base structure of the test bench, after its delivery in separate parts to our #Titan Research & Tests Center✅ The installation was meticulously planned to optimize future operations, requiring leveling adjustments due to uneven ground, in close collaboration with our Structure and Mechanical Systems Department. Additionally, a tall structure designed to support Navier itself and the #Fluid lines supplying it, has been erected on the base using a crane. A 40-foot container has also been positioned to accommodate all fluid panels and electrical cabinets essential for powering the test bench. While the installation is not yet fully complete, the next major steps include adding a deflector and a deluge system protecting systems during #HotFires 🔥 Teams will also set on top a small container hosting a simulator of Zephyr's flight computer 🚀 as well as Liquid Oxygen, Liquid Nitrogen and RP1 tanks. ⏩ Stay tuned as we continue the integration, moving towards qualification steps ✅ and ultimately, a first hot test fire in the upcoming months 🚨🔥🚨

Our technical partnership with #Clemessy Eiffage Énergie Systèmes is deepening as they provide our test benches controls systems ✅ 👨💻 Our partnership with Clemessy, a renowned French company with extensive expertise in #ControlSystems for legacy #Launchers, has been pivotal since 2022. Back then, they played a key role in the successful design of the control system for our 1st Navier #RocketEngine test campaign 👨💻🔥 Their continued support ever since has been vital for the ongoing in-house #Turbompump test campaign and the upcoming flight Navier #RocketEngine test campaign slated for later this year. We now have chosen to extend our partnership with them all the way to the integrated tests of our launcher leading to its maiden launch 🚀 We initially integrated a module from their SCADA/Syclone software suite, which seamlessly combines hardware and software ⚙️🔗💻 The success of this integration led us to build our entire line of control systems based on Clemessy's solutions, significantly supporting our growth and upskilling in this field. Clemessy's value is evident in their approach to delivering COTS products and software, optimized in collaboration with our teams at Latitude for integration into our architecture. These solutions have been validated by CNES at Centre Spatial Guyanais, among others, demonstrating their reliability and ease of use for our development and operational test teams ✅ Their proven solutions are designed to facilitate both development and operational testing for Latitude, ensuring we can continue advancing our Zephyr light launcher dedicated to orbiting #SmallSats 🛰️ #LatitudeLaunches #SpaceTechPioneers

Throwback to testing sheet metal working techniques building the first real-size #Tanks of #Zephyr 🚀 Our teams are developing Zephyr while always keeping #Production requirements in mind to make sure it can be mass produced 🏭🚀🚀🚀 Among many other projects, we have partnered with French industrial companies specializing in aluminium sheet metal work to test different fabrication methods. Our partners conducted several techniques to transform flat aluminum sheets into cylindrical shapes, soon to be welded as the first real-size LOX and RP1 tanks of #Zephyr. These sheets have been meticulously pre-machined with an #Orthogrid pattern ensuring they are lightweight yet meeting robustness requirements. The first partner conducted trials on a technique known as "press bending" while a second technique called "rolling" was tested in partnership with another industrial company. The objective for our Structure and Mechanical Systems team is to define which one best meets our stringent requirements for tolerance and repeatability 🦾✅ These efforts are crucial steps toward allowing Latitude to provide high cadence #LaunchSolutions for #SmallSats 🛰️🌐✅ #BeyondBoundaries #PushingTheLimits #SmallSatSolution
