<p><em><span lang="EN-US">NI</span></em><em><span>助力德克萨斯大学学生开发太空火箭，践行<span lang="EN-US">EngineerAmbitiously</span></span></em><em><span lang="EN-US">™</span></em><em><span>。</span></em></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US">NI</span><span>（<span lang="EN-US">NASDAQ</span>：<span lang="EN-US">NATI</span>）宣布对德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校德克萨斯火箭工程实验室（<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>）的赞助。<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>是一个跨学科的研究实验室，旨在通过火箭和航空航天领域内的动手项目，帮助学生为人类太空飞行的新时代做准备。当前<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>的任务是在<span lang="EN-US">2021</span>年底前将一枚采用液体双推进剂的<span lang="EN-US">28</span>英尺的火箭发射到太空中去。得到<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>的测试硬件、仿真系统以及专业指导，<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>正在准备发射源自大学有史以来最强大的火箭。</span></p>

<p><span>名为<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon</span>的<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>火箭已经进入了<span lang="EN-US">Base11</span>太空挑战赛。在这项国际竞赛中，学生主导的团队将设计、制造并发射液体驱动的单级火箭，使其到达<span lang="EN-US">100</span>公里的高度，即地球大气层与外层空间之间的正式边界。比赛成功意味着<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon</span>的位置要比上一界大学生液体双推进剂火箭的海拔记录高<span lang="EN-US">30</span>倍，并为<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>团队赢取<span lang="EN-US">100</span>万美元的大奖。</span></p>

<p><span>随着<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon</span>发射日期的临近，<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>团队正在将重点从组件设计和制造转移到系统集成及测试。为了支持<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>的测试工作，<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>将提供超过<span lang="EN-US">15</span>万美元的模块化数据采集设备和软件平台，帮助团队通过一系列测试来收集有关<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon</span>系统全面的数据。</span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US">NI</span><span>航空航天、国防和政府业务部首席营销主管<span lang="EN-US">Nick Butler</span>表示：“我们非常自豪能支持<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>和他们所作的努力，这些学生和研究人员实践了<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>倡导的<span lang="EN-US">Engineer Ambitiously</span>™。在数字技术用于加速生产、创新和发现中，他们的应用案例生动地展示了设计、测试和集成不断融合的过程。”</span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US">TREL</span><span>即将进行的热火试验（由<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>提供协助的一系列试验中的第一项）是<span lang="EN-US">TXE-1</span>发动机的全面燃烧，将产生超过<span lang="EN-US">2500</span>磅的推力。这项测试将收集火箭发动机的关键指标，例如推力、效率和温度，随后将用于优化更轻的<span lang="EN-US">TXE-2“Havoc”</span>发动机，而“<span lang="EN-US">Havoc”</span>发动机将在今年把“<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon”</span>号发射到太空中。</span></p>

<p><span>实验室另一个重要里程碑是硬件在环（<span lang="EN-US">HIL</span>）测试，对飞行中的整个火箭进行虚拟娱乐和仿真，并朝着设计和测试的数字化转型迈进了一步。<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>已经构建了一个定制的测试架，可以为每个火箭组件创建数字孪生，将它们集成在一起以创建飞行中<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon</span>的全面仿真。</span></p>

<p><span>在<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>的支持下，<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>团队将拓宽大学火箭技术的创新边界，并加快团队个人的发展。<span lang="EN-US"> “</span>非常荣幸能与<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>合作测试<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon</span>，经验是无价的。因为这种水平的动态测试通常不在大学课堂教学的范围内，但在行业中却无处不在。<span lang="EN-US">TREL</span>的航空电子软件高级工程师<span lang="EN-US">Stefan deBruyn</span>表示：“借助新的能力，我们可以在各种任务场景下测试<span lang="EN-US">Halcyon</span>，等到发射当天，我们已经做好万全准备。”</span></p>
