Windform RS and Windform LX 3.0 officially approved for space flight
The list of Windform TOP-LINE composites suitable for applications to be used in space is increasing. Windform RS and Windform LX 3.0 are officially compliant with ESA outgassing requirements in accordance with ESA-TEC-PR-002015 (based on ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C). The test was conducted at ESA/ESTEC laboratory in Noordwijk, Netherlands
Carbon fiber reinforced composite Windform RS and Glass fiber reinforced composite Windform LX 3.0 from CRP Technology's Windform TOP-LINE, passed ESA standard screening outgassing tests in accordance with ESA-TEC-PR-002015 (based on ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C): they are officially approved for the construction of applications to launch into Space.
Franco Cevolini, CEO and Technical Director of CRP Technology, says: "Passing the outgassing tests is a crucial factor for those who supply materials to the Space industry. The majority of Windform TOP-LINE composites are already approved for space applications, and now that two more Windform are officially compliant with ESA outgassing requirements, we are more competitive and ready to offer further added value to our most demanding customers."
The test was conducted in the μVCM facility of the TEC-QEE laboratory at ESA's ESTEC technical centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Windform RS and Windform LX 3.0 join Windform XT 2.0 (passed both ESA and NASA standard screening outgassing tests); Windform SP and Windform GT (passed NASA standard screening outgassing tests).

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
