Pressure sensor mounted on a rocket.
Kähler in the Universe
Keller's pressure sensors are used in rockets that fly to the thermosphere! SSC (Swedish Space Corporation) is a global leading company that provides cutting-edge space engineering, satellites, and launch services. SSC's rocket, the Suborbital Express, flies to an altitude of 260 km into the thermosphere, conducting scientific experiments in a microgravity environment on behalf of research institutions and companies. The experiments are conducted in a microgravity state, after which the rocket falls back to Earth. After a helicopter retrieves the rocket, SSC evaluates and analyzes the collected data and shares it with the users. In this rocket launch, Keller's pressure sensor PAA-33X was incorporated into the experimental module "ARLES-II." Prior to this, in the summer of 2019, Keller's pressure sensors were also used for pressure monitoring in the experimental module "ARLES-I." Using the pressure sensors, the pressure within a series of experimental cells was monitored, where experiments involving droplets and graphene particles (graphene is considered a future material due to its tear resistance, high elasticity, and conductivity) were conducted. Keller sensors were also used to measure the gas pressure inside the nitrogen tanks on board!
