Pressure sensor which eliminates need for water cooling

Piezotronics has brought out a pressure sensor for combustion testing and thermoacoustic pressure measurements which eliminates the need for water cooling and has  a temperature rating of 1400 °F (760 °C). The device measures combustion dynamics as well as gas turbine measurements, thermoacoustic measurements, rocket motor combustion instability or any high temperature, dynamic gas pressure ...

Wisa Woodsat wooden CubeSat heading to Earth’s orbit

A wooden satellite is being prepared in Finland, the Wisa Woodsat, to test the applicability of wooden materials, especially WISA-Birch plywood, in spacecraft structures. The proposed nanosatellite is based on the CubeSat standard, measuring roughly 10 x 10 x 10cm. It will be exposed to extreme space conditions – heat, cold, vacuum and radiation – ...
