Two-stage light gas gun
UNSW Canberra at ADFA | Campbell, ACT
The two-stage light gas gun is one of the UNSW Canberra’s flagship pieces of equipment. And it’s versatile, boasting three different firing configurations to suit the needs of most high-velocity impact experiment. Having the capability to replicate pressures approaching those seen within the centres of planetary bodies provides a unique opportunity for novel, cutting-edge scientific experiments.
