This webinar will provide key insights into the SALTO project, including its objectives, main activities, consortium partners, test facility, and technology maturation.
The SALTO project & its collaborative mission
Delphine Guillemin
SALTO project coordinator
ArianeGroup
ArianeGroup is the project SALTO coordinator. To set a context for this and following webinars and technological advancements, this presentation will focus on providing a high-level overview of the SALTO project, including its mission, objectives and the collaborative efforts behind it. It will outline the need for reusable rocket technology, the hop test campaign. It will highlight the international multi-organisational consortium that is working together to reach the common goal.
About speaker
Building a Spaceport above the Arctic Circle
Léo Ewen Trapier
Project Manager - Themis project
Swedish Space Corporation
Swedish Space Corporation project manager Léo Ewen Trapier will share with you some interesting insights about the test facility where the project SALTO test campaign will be performed. Esrange Space Center is a well-established facility that operates since 1966. It is located in the very north of Sweden, above the Arctic Circle, 40 km East from the town Kiruna. The daily activities include Launches of sounding rockets and stratospheric balloons, drop-tests of aerial vehicles, rocket motor tests and flight tests, as well as satellite communications.
About speaker
Born and raised in France, where I became an Aerospace Engineer, I specialised in Project Management. I am now living in Swedish Lapland since 2023 when I started to work at Esrange for SSC and the Themis project.
Technology maturation for future demonstrator reference configurations (T3) and full-scale launchers
Ansgar Marwege
Research Scientist and Project Manager
German Aerospace Center (DLR)
The SALTO project can be subdivided into two main branches. One is the test flight campaign of the T1H demonstrator with one Prometheus® engine. The second branch is the maturation of the technologies beyond the T1H test flight to ensure a seamless transition of the technologies for the application in future launchers. For this aim a reference configuration of a demonstrator similar to the T1H vehicle but with three Prometheus® engines, called T3, is investigated. From there the scalability of the technologies to full scale launchers is studied. This presentation will focus specifically on the technologies in SALTO going beyond T1H.
About speaker
Ansgar Marwege is a Research Scientist at the Supersonic and Hypersonic Technologies Department of the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). He was the Project Manager of the RETALT project – an EU Horizon 2020 project which investigated technologies for retro propulsion assisted descent and landing of vertically landing launchers. Furthermore, he was responsible for the aerodynamic investigations and wind tunnel testing in that project. Within the SALTO project he is leading the work and tasks related to Future Launcher Applicability, Aerodynamics / Aerothermodynamics & Flying Qualities and System Monitoring & Safety Technologies. Additionally, he is responsible for the aeroshape evolution and the Aerodynamic Databases (AEDB) of T3 and the wind tunnel testing.
