FEATURE / SUPERSONIC NOZZLES
6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This activity was carried out under a General
Support Technology Program (GSTP) of, and
funded by, the European Space Agency (Contract
No. 4000125437/18/NL/RA) in the frame of he
" Validation Of Space Debris Demise Tools Using
Plasma Wind Tunnel Testing and Numerical Tools "
project.
We also acknowledge funding from ESA
contract 4000122710/17/NL/KML/fg: " AblaCCOD:
Identification of ablation process in porous
materials " , which supported the design and
realization of the miniaturized COPV samples. In
line with this, we thank Alessandro Turchi and Pierre
Schrooyen for maturing the COPV samples design
and pushing the project forward, as well as MOSS
Composites, in particular, Stefan van Raemdonck,
for the discussions and manufacturing of the test
samples.
Julien Desset is acknowledged for his effort in
realizing the 3D design of the nozzles and handling
their production. Terence Boeyen and Pascal Collin
are acknowledged for their help with instrumenting
test samples and carrying out the experimental
Plasmatron campaign.
