3...2...1...Launch! Graphene Goes Zero G!

Two teams of researchers will explore the benefits of graphene as a light-propulsion material in solar sails, and as a smart coating in loop heat pipes for satellites. Both experiments will be performed in microgravity conditions, to simulate the extreme conditions in space. The solar sails will float in microgravity in a drop tower experiment, while the research team investigating heat pipes will experience weightlessness onboard a parabolic flight.

After a long summer of hard work in the laboratories, researchers in the Graphene Flagship are ready for two experiments this week, testing graphene technologies for space-related applications in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Two teams of researchers will explore the benefits of graphe

The TEQ 300WIR models are approved to safety standards IEC/UL 60950-1 and UL 508. With the compliance to EN 50155 and EN 61373 they also find place in the TRACO POWER “railway” category.

With the extra wide input voltage ranges of 18-75 and 43-110 VDC the nominal input voltages of 48, 72, 96 and 110 VDC can be applied while a ±40% deviation of nominal input voltage does not affect the function. It means that the converters can bear with brownouts (0.6 x Vnom x 100ms) and transient voltage (1.4
