Tricor金属公司日前签订一项合同,为美国宇航局(NASA)太阳探测宇宙飞船建造第二代样机和永久型支撑结构。Tricor公司发言人称将采用来自wooster工厂的钛合金建造航天器的支撑结构。这项计划是美国宇航局太阳探测加强号的一部分,计划将发射探测器围绕太阳的大气,之后进入日冕,预计最晚于2018年进行发射。钛材制造商和经销商在2013年为探测器建造了第一架样机。这个探测器由约翰·霍普金斯大学应用物 Tricor Metal has signed a contract to build a second-generation prototype and permanent support structure for NASA’s solar exploration spacecraft. A Tricor spokesman said it will build the spacecraft’s support structure with titanium from the wooster plant. The plan, part of NASA’s solar exploration enhancement program, is to launch a probe around the sun’s atmosphere before entering the corona and is expected to launch by 2018 at the latest. Titanium manufacturers and distributors built the first prototype for the detector in 2013. This detector is an application by Johns Hopkins University
