Company Sierra Space has completed a key step in utilizing the astronaut habitat on its future space station. orbital reef.
This test was carried out for the second time and includes an inflatable module placed at maximum burst pressure to test its effectiveness and resistance to a future space launch.
Bang to keep going
This module is called the Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) and will be used as a platform for astronauts to live and conduct science experiments on the station. orbital reef, developed Sierra Space and blue origin.
For this move, the company took a scale version of what would be the LIFE module and drove it to a hydrogen explosion, pushing its resistance to the limit.
Because of the danger of this mission, the experiment was conducted at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the same launch site where rockets were tested during the Apollo program.
Video and photos show the explosion and what was left after it. Sierra Space he said it was successful, with the test model reaching a maximum pressure of 204 psi before exploding.
alternate stations
orbital reef it is one of three private stations that will replace the International Space Station.
Human-Oriented Spatial Architecture orbital reef It is conceived as a “mixed-use space business park” that provides the necessary infrastructure needed to support all types of human spaceflight in low Earth orbit and can scale to serve new markets.
He has the backing of NASA, which will only hire its own companies to carry out its scientific experiments in orbit. Thus, the space agency will save money on maintaining the spacecraft.
LIFE modules made from Vectran fabric will be launched into space on rockets. They will be docked and inflated in the same orbit. Per Sierra Space, the maximum test will be held this year 2023 with the explosion of a full-scale habitat model.
