PROJECTS
Project: JUICE-SWI - Electronic Unit
Customer: Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung (MPS)
As part of the JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) SWI (Submillimeter Wave Instrument) mission, MGE was commissioned for phase C (CDR) structural analysis of the associated EU (Electronic Unit). Particular focus was placed on the strength verification of the housing and the electronic components on the circuit boards under sinus & random vibration.
The analysis and the associated structural report were successfully accepted by the customer for analytical verification.
"It was a very professional and goal-oriented collaboration. The tasks were carried out exactly according to our ideas and in surprising detail. I would be happy to work with MGE again in the future"
(Stefan S. - Lead Mechanical Engineer JUICE / SWI - 2019)
Project: "Nameless" Optical Instruments
Customer: "Anonymous"
For two years now, MGE has been accompanying the development of two variants of optical instruments that function for optical data transmission on an aero- and space-based platform.
Using the finite element method and general consulting, MGE supports the design and development process through the analysis of static load cases, sinus / random vibration, shock analysis and the prediction of thermo-mechanical deformations in orbit by means of temperature mapping carried out beforehand.
" Discretion is as important to us as it is to you, if you wish ."
Project: ELT-LPS
Customer: TOPTICA Projects GmbH
MGE supported TOPTICA for the preliminary design and proposal for the LPS (Laser Projector Subunit) from a structural and thermo-elastic point of view. The LPS is part of ESO's ELT (Extremely Large Telescope) in Chile and is used to generate artificial reference stars in the sodium layer of the Earth's mesosphere.
"If the project acquisition is successful, MGE will continue to support TOPTICA with all structure and thermo-elastic related topics."
Project: "Nameless" Optical Instruments
Customer: Kampf Telescope Optics GmbH (KTO)
MGE calculated the static and dynamic strength of an optical system under internal pressure, temperature load and quasi-static acceleration.
The associated analysis report served for the successful analytical certification of airworthiness. In addition, the optical surface deformations (SFE) have been communicated to the customer for the operational load cases in order to allow for optical performance estimation.
"MGE would like to thank KTO again for the extremely pleasant cooperation."
