Aerospace & Space
Space and Aerospace Product Services
Hardware bound for orbit only gets one chance to perform. A satellite electronic component that passes bench checks at sea level still has to survive launch vibration, pyroshock separation events, extreme vacuum, and thermal cycling between deep cold and direct solar load. An avionics box has to hold up through decades of pressure cycles, humidity, and airframe vibration. Finding those weaknesses on the ground is dramatically cheaper than finding them after launch.
DES’s space and aerospace testing services span the full environmental envelope from thermal vacuum simulation to launch-level dynamics. Our testing services are built around your specification. Engineers from NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Rolls-Royce, and the U.S. Army have all brought programs through our lab.

Reliable Aerospace Testing Services
Our aerospace testing services replicate the real conditions your hardware will face, then measure how it responds. We support qualification, acceptance, and screening across the entire program lifecycle including early design verification, formal qual campaigns, and production screening once you’re at rate. Our aerospace testing services include the following:
- Space simulation and thermal vacuum
- Launch and flight dynamics
- Environmental and climatic
- Reliability and screening
We run to the specifications your customer and your quality organization already require, including MIL-STD-810, RTCA/DO-160, MIL-STD-202, MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-331, and IEC 60068-2. When your program calls for a tailored profile instead, our engineers will write the test plan and design and build the custom fixtures to execute it.
Space Testing Near You
Space testing programs rarely go from start to finish without a surprise. Local and regional customers routinely witness and participate on their tests, review data from their instrumentation, and make decisions on the spot. We also receive shipped hardware from customers nationwide and abroad, with secure handling for ITAR-controlled programs.
Whether you’re a prime contractor qualifying a flight assembly, a smallsat startup on a compressed schedule, or a Tier 2 supplier who needs a subcomponent verified before delivery, you’ll work directly with the engineers running your test. Contact us today for a free estimate!
