Services
Experience is not given, but earned.
We have worked fundamental mission concepts, performed concept-to-implementation EP system development, overseen spacecraft integration operations, and successfully resolved on-orbit anomalies.
We are therefore uniquely qualified to provide numerous services to customers building & flying EP-based spacecraft.
ep system Development
On-orbit positioning is critical, which begins with the EP system. We have the knowhow to spearhead the a novel EP thruster design or optimize an existing propulsion solution.
Fundamental & background research and system conceptualization
Requirements definitions to meet the mission needs
Component-level & integrated system planning and layout
Detailed design & prototype development guidance and support
Material selection & mass optimization for each subsystem element
Qualification & Test Support
The ability for space hardware to survive launch, space environments, and the full mission duration must be validated. Our extensive experience enables us to provide numerous related services.
Procedure generation & review
Facility buildup, equipment selection, & configuration optimization
Component-level testing planning & oversight
Environmental & lifetime qualification support
Hardware & test anomaly resolution & root-cause investigations
Spacecraft integration support
Space hardware is worthless without an integrated spacecraft system. Let us assist with your spacecraft-level integration workflow.
On-vehicle hardware placement optimization
Electrical & plumbing routing
Hardware installation sequencing
Spacecraft-level acceptance testing
Space environment considerations
Critical document (e.g., ICD, Test Report, Specification) review
Post-Launch support
You’ve made it to orbit, but your EP system is not operating nominally. Worse, failure to resolve the issue is threatening mission success.
What now?
We have experience with resolving mission-critical on-orbit anomalies associated with electric propulsion systems.
Your mission is not over. Let us get you back on trajectory .
