Special development of a calorimeter for the International Space Station
In the framework of the FASES (Fundamental and Applied Studies on emulsion Stability) project, financially supported by ESA (European Space Agency), a device for the characterization of emulsions was developed by ASTRIUM with the assistance of KEP Technologies. This device, a calorimeter, has been used in the FSL (Fluid Space Laboratory) of the ISS (International Space Station) for fundamental studies on emulsions in microgravity conditions.
Material Characterization
New imperatives of the aeronautical industry – reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution – are generating numerous programs to develop and characterize new materials: organic matrix composites, ceramics or metals, light alloys, 3D printing parts etc.
The organizations leading these programs use thermal analyzers developed by KEP Technologies Group under the SETARAM brand name. They are designed for measurements at high temperature and under corrosive atmospheres. SETARAM instruments are also present in research laboratories dedicated to space exploration: Ariane Group, NASA, CASIC (China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation) and VSSC (Vikram Sarabhai Space Center in India).
