Used STI TR 48 #9111290 for sale

STI TR 48 (Satellite Transportation Interface-Type 48) is an industry standard for packaging cargo in space. It was created to streamline the packaging and tracking of cargo during the launch and re-entry process, and is most commonly used for transporting space hardware. The equipment utilizes a standard-sized packaging container, known as a "case," which is designed to fit snugly within the standard spacecraft payload envelope, ensuring that the parts are secured and protected during the launch stage. Each case will typically contain multiple smaller components which are protected by smaller "trays" inside the case, each with its own specialized cushioning material to protect delicate parts from damage. Other standard components of STI TR48 system are tie-downs and locks, allowing for optimal security and protection during loading and unloading. All tie-down and lock components are made from aerospace-grade materials. Each case must also include a standardized label that describes the contents of the case and the intended destination, allowing the cargo to be identified easily when it reaches its destination. The cases are typically loaded into a spacecraft payload module, which can range from a small, manual mover to a large, automated unit. The mover is designed specifically for secure transport of the cargo cases, and provides a functional and secure platform for loading and unloading. TR 48 packaging machine is used extensively in the space industry, and is highly reliable and cost-effective. The tool ensures that all parts and components are securely packaged and protected during the launch and re-entry processes, while offering a simple and streamlined tracking asset. Additionally, the standard container size allows for easy compatibility with a wide variety of launch systems. As such, TR48 is the preferred packaging model for most space launches.
