Application of Multi-Component Tenzodynamometers in Solving Problems Related to the Study of the Moon
Results of the development of specialized multi-component tensometric dynamometers (TDM) of the tubular type, that translate a force component and a torque to electrical signals for measuring force-torque loads acting on the model placed in vacuum chambers are presented. Features of gas dynamic force effects jets running engines of the orbital and descending modules and components for maneuvering on the orbit and landing on the Moon, and also in the course of the experimental practicing are examined. The appropriateness of the application of tubular tenzodinamometers in providing remote robotic systems designed for lunar missions is noted.
