This week, ESR Technology’s National Centre of Tribology (NCT) team had the pleasure of attending the Marine Energy Wales 2024 conference in Swansea. Meeting with some of the minds behind Wales’ and indeed the UK’s world leading innovations in marine renewable energy, the passion and belief of the designers and developers in the future of the Morlais project and Welsh renewable marine energy was palpable.
Identification of fracture mechanisms is a major stage in performing Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA). At ESR Technology’s National Centre of Tribology, our team of expert engineers carry out metallurgical failure analysis on a wide range of materials across a variety of industries.
ESR Technology is excited to announce that our team in Aberdeen has moved into its brand-new office. The move, which took place at the beginning of March, reflects the company’s continued growth and commitment to providing its employees with a positive and productive work environment.
Until now, no guidance has been available for those seeking to employ a new oil or grease product in a space mechanism intended for flight qualification. However, a guideline document (ESA-ESTL-TM-0375 01- “Guidelines for Qualification of New Fluid Lubricants”) recently released by ESTL and available in ESTL’s Members’ Area aims to provide clarity concerning the lubricant verification and validation prerequisites ultimately to be required by the European Space Agency (ESA) in this situation.
ESR Space is proud to announce that it has recently been awarded a contract from OHB System AG. The contract entails the design, analysis, and prototyping of the Aperture Door Mechanism (ADM) for the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Vigil PMI (Photospheric Magnetic Imager) instrument.
ESR Technology is delighted to announce that the European Space Tribology Laboratory (ESTL) will be making several presentations at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC).
