SPACECRAFT ELECTRONICS AND HIGH RELIABILITY ELECTRONICS DESIGN

About Us

About Us

Custom interplanetary C&DHs? We do that. Custom interplanetary solid state recorders? We do that, too. Aggregate 160 thermal sensors into a small, rad-hard data acquisition system? We've solved that. We are an aerospace design company that solves these high-risk, "it must work", kinds of problems. Aerospace electronics, hardware, and software are our focus. We have over 35 years of high-reliability design experience for spaceflight and class II/III medical devices. Our mission is to provide innovative, high-reliability electronics spacecraft solutions, ensuring mission success through cutting-edge design and unparalleled expertise.

The Flatirons, Colorado

Why Colorado?

Aside from the beautiful scenery, operating in the state of Colorado allows for tax free flight hardware.

Testing

Test Better Than You Fly™

We qualify hardware and firmware against margins that exceed the actual flight or use environment, not just the letter of the spec. Thermal, vibration, radiation, and EMI/EMC test plans are built to find failure modes on the bench, long before they can show up on orbit. If it hasn't been tested harder than it will ever fly, it isn't done.
