Abstract : In any human space flight program, safety of the crew is of utmost priority. In case of exigency during atmospheric flight, the crew is safely and quickly rescued from the launch vehicle using Crew escape system. Crew escape system is a crucial part of the Human Space flight vehicle which carries the crew module away from the ascending launch vehicle by firing its rocket motors (Pitch Motor (PM), Low altitude Escape Motor (LEM) and High altitude Escape Motor (HEM)). The structural loads experienced by the crew escape system during the mission abort are severe as the propulsive forces, aerodynamic forces and inertial forces on the vehicle are significantly high. Since the mission abort can occur at anytime during the ascent phase of the launch vehicle, trajectory profiles are generated for abort at every one second interval of ascent flight time considering several combinations of dispersions on various propulsive parameters of abort motors and aero parameters.

A novel method for Single Event Effect (SEE) Radiation Testing using Built-In Self-Test (BIST) feature of indigenously developed Vikram1601 processor is discussed. The novelty is that the usage of BIST avoids need of exhaustive test vectors to ensure test coverage of all the internal registers and physical memory to store them. So processor is the only element vulnerable to radiation damage during testing. The test design was carried out at VSSC, Trivandrum and the testing was carried out at IUAC, Delhi. In the first part, a brief introduction, need and methods of radiation testing of electronics especially SEE of radiation on Silicon based devices, different radiation effects, radiation damage mechanisms and testing methods are described. A brief introduction to Vikram1601 processor, the instruction – TST, used as BIST and testing scheme implementation using TST for studying the SEE is explained.

Abstract: Hydraulic systems in aircrafts largely comprise of metallic components with high strength to weight ratios which comprise of 2024 Aluminum and Titanium Ti-6AL-4V. The selection of material is based on low and high pressure applications respectively. For aircraft fluid conveyance products, hydraulic conduits are fabricated by axisymmetric turning to support flow conditions. The hydraulic conduits further carries groves within for placement of elastomeric sealing components. This article presents a systematic study carried out on common loads experienced by fluid carrying conduits and the failure modes induced. The critical failure locations on fluid carrying conduits of 2024-T351 Aluminum was identified, and the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis was carried out to identify the characteristic footprints of failure surfaces and crack initiation. Through this analysis, a load to failure mode correlation is established.
