About
The Transport Unit is ground support infrastructure equipment intended for the transportation of aggressive (corrosive) liquids, such as those used in space launch operations, while maintaining the required temperature parameters of the transported product throughout transit. The equipment structurally consists of three main components: a transport unit tow-truck, a semi-trailer, and a special tank-container that holds the liquid cargo. It is designed to operate across a wide ambient air temperature range of -40°C to +40°C while internally maintaining the corrosive liquid within a controlled temperature band of +8°C to +20°C, protecting temperature-sensitive aggressive liquids during road transport. The unit has a carrying capacity of 25 tons. It was released in 2015, has a guaranteed service life of 3 years, and can be adapted to customer requirements. The product has not undergone flight qualification. Estimated timelines are approximately 0.5 years for development, 2 years for purchase, and 1 year for testing.
