ESA - Launch vehicles - Cryogenic main stage (EPC) (338 words) |
 | The EPC is 30.5 m high with a diameter of 5.4 m. |
| The EPC is essentially composed of an aluminium tank with two compartments: one for liquid oxygen and one for liquid hydrogen. |
| At the base of the EPC is the Vulcain engine which transmits thrust to the launcher through the aft ‘skirt’, while at its summit is a forward ‘skirt’ linking the main stage to the launcher’s upper stage and upper part configuration. |
| EPCglobal Guidelines on EPC for Consumer Products (878 words) |
| EPC has the potential to be used on many everyday consumer products as they move through the supply chain - from factories through distribution centres and into retail stores. |
| To allow EPC to realise its potential for consumers, retailers and suppliers, it is important to address privacy concerns prompted by the current state of the technology while establishing principles for dealing with its evolution and implementation. |
| EPC participants are committed to addressing these issues and engaging in a dialogue about them with interested parties. |
