Cubesat Antenna System

Cubesat Antenna System Need: CubeSat satellites by nature are small and require that all necessary systems a equally small and lightweight. CubeSats require a reliable antenna to transmit and receive telemetry to a ground station. The launch pod limits the size of the antenna, and anything that extends beyond the dimensions of a launch pod, such...

Self Consolidating Grout

Self-Consolidating Grout Need: In self-consolidating grout, the grout is more liquid and flows into the smallest of voids, thus eliminating the need for the grouting process. The pressure head from the column of grout helps to push the grout into voids. There are chemicals that can be added to traditional grout mixes to make self-consolidation,...

Designed Defects in Laminate Composites

Designed Defects in Laminate Composites Need: As defects are a common problem occurring in laminated composite materials, it is important to determine whether a defect exists in laminated parts or structures. A conventional method of creating a delamination defect involves the insertion of a thin plastic membrane in the composite sample to simulate...
