Space

The space industry is undergoing vast transformation as the private sector and government agencies race to enable new technological capabilities. Companies must produce unprecedented volumes of satellites and launch vehicles, manufacturing on accelerated timelines while ensuring program success.

The space industry poses particular complexities for testing for a number of reasons. Firstly, testing requires replicating the environment in which the hardware will be used. In space, these environments are nothing short of extreme – such as large temperature variations and immense vibrations caused by a successful launch with multiple stages of booster separation. Secondly, in most other industries if something goes wrong, you can react and fix the issue, but this is not always possible once something is in space.

Resonate Testing has developed its own bespoke shock and pyroshock testing facility that can recreate the complex shocks that are experienced in the most extreme environments. With a wide range of impact devices and shock transfer media, we are confident we can find a solution for even the most complex shock spectra.

One of the benefits of the technique that Resonate Testing has developed is that the shock testing can be “custom fit" to the Shock Response Spectra (SRS) for any specific equipment under test (EUT). Based on the use of a mass representative model, mounting configuration and the test set up adjustments that Resonate Testing introduce before testing of the actual EUT, we ensure that it experiences the required SRS input. This is a great advantage that Resonate provides to companies who want to shock test their equipment for a variety of SRS or different equipment for the same SRS.  ​

Resonate Testing provide a consultancy service to assist companies in shortening their development cycles and provide important shock test support at every step of the development cycle from prototype tests to full space qualification test campaigns.
