NASA’s DAVINCI Test Sphere Survived Six 465°C Cycles—Here’s What That Proves
NASA has pushed a full-scale DAVINCI test sphere through six simulated descents to Venus temperatures. The campaign ran from August 28 through September 10. Each cycle raised the hardware to 465 degrees Celsius in roughly one hour. More than 100 sensors watched instrument simulators inside, according to NASA’s September 24 test report. The result removes…
The ship of the Nasa DAVINCI must go to explore the Venetian atmosphere, a particularly hostile and dangerous environment. To prepare itself for it, a model of the probe passed six cycles in an industrial furnace heated up to 465 degrees Celsius. He came out unharmed. Her mission, she accepted it: to descend
The mission's launch vehicle design DAVINCI successfully completed the thermal test cycle, confirming the reliability of the protection of the on-board equipment against the extreme heat of the planet. Between 28 August and 10 September, the installation was delivered to the Rex Heat Treat production base in Bedford, a rare enterprise capable of replicating the Venezuelan heating regimes with accurate observance of the real-life dynamics. The pr…
