The developers assure that it will be an analogue of the NASA stand
CHELYABINSK, December 2. /tass/. Russian engineers will develop the country's first stand for testing satellites weighing up to five tons, the work is planned to be completed in the first half of 2022. This was reported to journalists by the president of Cheltek Holding, which includes Ural Engineering Center LLC (industrial partner), Valery Bodrov.
"We have a three-coordinate stand for testing satellites. It is designed to test satellites weighing up to three to five tons. <…> [We have to hand over the stand during the first half of 2022," Bodrov said, noting that this stand will be the first in Russia.
According to the developers, the project will be an analogue of the NASA stand. The stand being developed in Chelyabinsk allows you to create a special vibration, which allows scientists to predict the reliability of equipment during the flight of a satellite or its transportation. The project is being implemented by scientists of the South Ural State University.
The Ural Interregional REC "Advanced Production Technologies and Materials" was created within the framework of the national project "Science and Universities" to conduct world-class applied research and development. The Center participates in obtaining competitive technologies and products, their commercialization, as well as training personnel. The leading universities of the Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and Kurgan regions - UrFU, SUSU, KSU and others take an active part in the development of UMNOC. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the center is the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Ural Federal District, Vladimir Yakushev.
