BS&B India’s odyssey continues The winged RLV-TD is designed to BS&B Safety Systems (India) is committed to providing reliable evaluate various technologies, namely pressure relief devices for critical applications in high technology hypersonic flight, autonomous landing areas - such as India’s first mission to moon - Chandrayaan in 2008, and powered cruise flight, thermal critical safety protection in nuclear power plants, the fast breeder reactor, BHAVINI at Kalpakkam, and in the Defence sector in protection systems, navigation, guidance battle tanks and missiles in the AGNI series, including the latest and control schemes and re-entry AGNI V which was successfully field-tested in 2012. The elite mission management etc. By the success customer list includes India’s leading OEMs like BHEL and ABB, of the mission all the above were tested Thermax, L&T etc. and proved to be working successfully. BS&B India participated in the above On 23 May 2016, the Indian Space project by supplying its Rupture Disk Research Organisation successfully flight assembled in the Retro Rocket motors tested India’s first winged body aerospace which were used on its main solid motor vehicle operating in hypersonic flight to separate from TD. The Disk was made regime. The project is known as the of Titanium to take care of several factors Re-launch Vehicle Technology like weight, corrosion, and other extreme Demonstrator (RLV-TD). The purpose ambient conditions. Further, this needed of the mission is to validate and test a to be welded to a control ring on one side launch vehicle for future use thereby for rigid clamping to prevent leakage of saving cost. This may be a prelude to fluid medium. Welding Titanium posed future human space missions. a problem as it gets oxidised easily at 10 ambient atmosphere. Then solving the disengaged RLV and the separated leak tightness between the ring and Vehicle further ascended to a height of the disk membrane was an issue. This about 65 km as programmed. was because it had to be qualified for From that peak altitude of 65 km, the absolute Zero leakage, being tested using Vehicle began its descent followed by a Helium Leak testing machine to check atmospheric re-entry at a Velocity of for leakage between ring and the Disk around Mach 5 (five times the speed membrane. Finally after taking care of of sound). The vehicle’s Navigation, providing an Argon gas atmosphere to Guidance and Control system accurately prevent oxidation of Titanium, welding steered the vehicle during this phase for was carried out using Plasma welding safe descent. After successfully surviving technology. The disks were repeatedly high temperatures of re-entry with the tested for its consistency to ensure that help of its Thermal Protection System welding does not affect the performance (TPS), RLV successfully glided down of the disk. to the defined landing spot over Bay In the RLV experimental mission, the of Bengal, thereby fulfilling its mission solid rocket booster Rocket, HS9, that objectives. The vehicle was successfully carried RLV-TD after reaching the tracked during its flight from ground designated altitude and its descent, stations.
