Client: CNES – Avionics R&T Program
CNES was developing a new avionics chain intended for suborbital vehicles, including an inertial measurement unit, onboard computers, and the power supply system.
Ground tests successfully validated each component individually, but the behavior of the fully integrated system under real acceleration conditions remained uncertain.
Infinity Space Providers conducted a KRYPTON’IT flight carrying a 10 kg payload to an altitude of 20 km.
The campaign enabled avionics testing in real flight conditions, including the propulsion phase, engine-induced vibrations, dynamic transitions, and post-flight data recovery.
The tests revealed coupling effects between mechanical vibrations and inertial measurements that could not be detected on ground test benches.
Validation achieved:
real-world behavior of the integrated avionics chain under acceleration and vibration, in-flight data reliability, and overall robustness of the complete system.
