Test facilities
At present, “RD&PE “Zvezda” JSC features mostly unique test facilities to support a complete cycle of development test programs, which are finished with the issue of Statements on compliance with the technical specifications as well as airworthiness standards, Air Force general technical requirements, ISO 9000, etc.
The experimental facilities comprise:
- Thermal vacuum chamber complex that supports man-rated equipment tests as well as pilots and cosmonauts training;
- Centrifuge for physiological research and development testing of linear acceleration protection means;
- Wind tunnel complex designed to test pilot protective equipment (Vmax=1800 km/h), aircraft in-flight refueling systems and fire extinguishing systems for aircraft engines;
- All the facilities are equipped with modern test data recording and processing means.
