Orbiting Satellite

Industries WE serve

Space and SatCom

A single component failure due to microcracking, outgassing contamination, or structural resonance can result in the loss of a multi-million-dollar satellite asset.

Missing an inflexible launch window due to late-stage component failure carries catastrophic financial, regulatory, and contractual penalties.

The Operational Challenge:

Orbit-class hardware operates in an environment where repair is impossible. Designers must contend with zero convective cooling, severe solar thermal cycling, total ionizing radiation dose, electrostatic discharge (ESD), vacuum outgassing, and intense launch-phase acoustic shock.

Engineering the Solution

Space Electronics & Qualified Assemblies

Material & Ingress Control:

Strict adherence to NASA/ESA outgassing limits and the total elimination of prohibited materials to prevent destructive whisker growth.

Radiation & ESD Mitigation:

Integrated shielding architectures designed to survive intense orbital temperature deltas, total ionizing dose (TID), and single-event effects (SEEs).

RF, Microwave & Communication Payloads

Signal Integrity:

High-performance RF enclosures and Microwave Systems designed to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-density payloads.

From Concept to Orbit:

Proven product engineering services for space electronics, SATCOM systems, RF enclosures, microwave assemblies, and communications payloads.

Validate with Confidence

We embed rigorous space qualification protocols directly into our mechanical design services and structural testing workflows to de-risk your launch:

MIL-STD-883 Testing:

Microcircuit screening and test methods to ensure long-term semiconductor reliability under space-class stress.

FEA Analysis Services:

Advanced structural and modal analysis to withstand extreme launch vehicle shock, vibration, and acoustic profiles.

TVAC Ready Design:

Enclosures engineered to pass strict Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) testing and outgassing screening before integration.
