SpaceTech Services
As a competent partner, we are highly motivated to solve even the most complex tasks thanks to the close cooperation of test and simulation services. Due to many years of experience and successful cooperation with our customers and our partners from a wide range of industrial backgrounds, we can provide comprehensive competence.
We can provide you with seminars and training courses for a wide range of subjects. Successfully pursuer your goals with us, in both, the reality of industry and in that of the practical research.
SpaceTech testing and other services
The development of spacecraft systems and subsystems requires high level testing, which simulates the harsh environment of space, e.g., vacuum, extreme temperatures or temperature gradients to state the robustness of the material and design. In addition, thermal-balance tests are performed to verify the thermal model of the systems.
The investigation and reduction of molecular contamination of parts and material is necessary to avoid in-orbit contamination e.g., optical instruments. Volatile particles can be emitted e.g., by CFRP structures. At STI, we offer testing in accordance with ECSS standards in clean room or laboratory clean conditions. We deliver state of the art testing services and holistically support for your testing campaign.
