Tenders Are Invited For Tests For The Characterization Of The Spacecraft Accidental Environments Exposing Nuclear Power Sources

Tenders are invited for E3c3-011 - Tests for the Characterization of the Spacecraft Accidental Environments Exposing Nuclear Power Sources. Clarification Request Deadline 28/07/2025 13:00 CET Closing Date Extension Request Deadline 28/07/2025 13:00 CET Announcement Date 15/11/2024 Last Update On 30/06/2025 16:02 CET Update Reason Tender Action Issued ________________________________________ The tasks proposed under this activity are of experimental (A) and theoretical (B) nature. They shall:- Identify the key components of the Spacecraft (tanks, thrusters, guidance, shielding...) with respect to the protection of the on-board NPS and Nuclear Safetyals;- Consolidate the preliminary characterization of the Representative Accident Scenarios consequences through the different subsystems defined by the LSAP process and NSOR for the spacecraft;- Confirm or adjust the coverage of the preliminary accidental scenario for the spacecraft environment;- Define a reference framework of the methodology for the modelling tools in particular for characterising consequences of the combination of accidental scenarios proposed from System analysis (e.g. blast wave combined with shrapnel effects followed by atmospheric re-entry).Read more Directorate Estabilishment ESTEC Open Date 30/06/2025 16:02 CET Closing Date 11/08/2025 13:00 CET ECOS Required No Classified No Price Range > 500 KEURO Authorised Contact Person Francesco Cattaneo Initiating Service HRE-LA IP Measure N/A Prog.
