HANDLING AND INTEGRATION RINGS FOR THE I-HAB MODULE
Support Thales Alenia Space Italy on the I-HAB program (Gateway Station) by providing large-scale integration tooling to safely ensure the lifting, transport, and ground testing of a critical space module.
HANDLING AND INTEGRATION RINGS FOR THE I-HAB MODULE
The mission's challenge
Design and manufacture two large-scale rings capable of safely ensuring the handling, lifting, and integration onto a critical, high-value space module, while guaranteeing absolute mechanical rigidity.
Specificity
Comprehensive project combining mechanical design engineering, structural analysis, high-precision machining, and dimensional inspection.Technical characteristics
High-strength mechanically welded and machined alloys (optimized stiffness-to-mass ratio).
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) under static and dynamic loads.
Operational characteristics
High-precision interfaces tailored to I-HAB hardpoints for accurate alignment and load transfer without deforming the flight structure.
