The specialists of Bauman Moscow State Technical University and AERONOVA conducted factory tests of the stratostat gas shell in Dolgoprudny Design Bureau of Automatics (DDBA). To recap, DDBA is part of the Ruselectronics holding owned by Rostec State Corporation.
Factory tests are necessary to check the quality of the manufactured shell and its calculation methods. This is a mandatory stage of preparing the stratostat for launch, which we intend to carry out this weekend. The shell was manufactured at the facilities of Bauman Moscow State Technical University as commissioned by AERONOVA.
