About
The Test Bench for Mutual Movement of Spacecraft ensures free movement of studied objects in the horizontal plane with minimal friction. It is a precision aerodynamic table with a grid of holes through which air from an external fan is supplied under pressure, allowing a load on an air cushion. Supports one or more mockups of moving objects up to 10 kg each. Dimensions 5000×6000×3000 mm, active area 1860×2480 mm, air-bearing disk gap ≤0.5 mm, power consumption 20 kW. Motion parameters determined using the Autonomous Measurements System. Released 2015, 9-month delivery. Not flight qualified. Customizable.
