Lift off with MultiStations robotic total stations

加强美国NASA太空发射系统的测试功能，负责美国飞机科学和技术的机构现在正在使用Leica Nova MS50多阶层。具有集成激光扫描功能的快速，精确的机器人总站将在综合亚博5分钟快三结构测试期间提供准确的挠度监测。

随着NASA的新火箭的进展，太空发射系统（SLS），测试硬件正成为美国阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔的Marshall太空飞行中心的关键焦点。必须仔细评估每个结构测试文章，以验证其完整性，并确保它可以承受飞行过程中可能体验到的负载。

The tests will be conducted outdoors in one of two structural test stands. A 66-metre-tall steel structure known as Test Stand 4693 will be used to test the liquid hydrogen tank, while an 26-metre-tall steel structure known as Test Stand 4697 will be used to test the liquid oxygen tank. These test stands will push, pull and bend the tanks of the SLS’s massive core stage to subject both the tanks and hardware to the same loads and stresses they will endure during launch.

During the tests, multiple points on the tanks must be monitored accurately for deflections over a 48-hour period. To accomplish this task, NASA will use the MultiStations, which are precise robotic total stations with integrated laser scanning capabilities. These will be added to NASA’s existing arsenal of Nova MS50 MultiStations and Leica Viva TS15 robotic total stations all of which will be used for deflection monitoring during the comprehensive structural tests.

According to David Rutledge, the NAFTA Director of Structural Monitoring for Leica Geosystems’ Engineered Solutions business, NASA continues to invest in the Leica Nova MS50 both for its versatility and its accuracy compared to other total stations.

他说：“诸如太空启动系统的结构测试计划之类的关键应用程序需求解决方案可以提供高精度和出色的性能。”“在整个测试期间，LEICA NOVA MS50和VIVA TS15仪器都将提供高度准确的数据，以帮助NASA工程师了解文章的性能并指导他们未来的火箭开发。我们很高兴能够在马歇尔太空飞行中心的持续进展中发挥作用。”
