This technical report describes the activities performed during the splashdown tests of the Nyx capsule. The tests were conducted according to a test matrix agreed upon with the customer, who provided the 3D design of the capsule. Based on the data provided by the customer, a scale factor λ=4 was established according to Froude similitude. The test model was therefore designed according to this scale, taking into account the physical characteristics (COG and MOI) and the communicated sensor positions.

Abstract
This technical report describes the activities performed during the splashdown tests of the Nyx capsule. The tests were conducted according to a test matrix agreed upon with the customer, who provided the 3D design of the capsule. Based on the data provided by the customer, a scale factor λ=4 was established according to Froude similitude. The test model was therefore designed according to this scale, taking into account the physical characteristics (COG and MOI) and the communicated sensor positions.File in questo prodotto:
