Space missions face extreme vibration, shock and acoustic loads. To qualify spacecraft, these conditions must be recreated precisely under NASA GEVS, ECSS and other global standards.
m+p international systems support spacecraft vibration testing, aerospace environmental testing, pyroshock simulation and aerospace shock testing. We deliver end-to-end testing for satellites, CubeSats and avionics across vibration, acoustic, structural and handling operations with high repeatability, safety and efficiency.
Your Benefits
High-precision qualification and environmental testing for space and New Space
Vibration and Shock Testing for Spacecraft Qualification
Launch and separation loads impose extreme mechanical stress – precise excitation and control are critical. m+p international supports sine, random, shock and advanced SRS profiles for aerospace and spacecraft vibration testing. Trusted by NASA JPL, SpaceX and Airbus, our systems enable qualification-level workflows for satellites, avionics and structures, ensuring mission-ready performance.
Direct Field and Reverberation Acoustic Testing
Rocket launches expose spacecraft to intense broadband acoustic loads. m+p international solutions support direct-field and reverberation aerospace acoustic testing to reproduce these harsh environments, enabling realistic and exact qualification of satellites, payloads and small spacecraft without dedicated acoustic chambers. Flexible by design, our industry-proven solutions accelerate New Space production lines.
Resonance Search and Dynamic Behavior Evaluation
Structural resonances can shift under mechanical load during qualification. Trusted by space companies across the world, our adaptable solutions combine sine, random, and shock steps to detect resonance changes throughout testing. Engineers visualize resonance behavior using overlaid charts, dual Y-axes and multi-signal displays to rapidly interpret frequency shifts in satellite vibration or aerospace mechanical testing workflows.
Force-Limited Vibration Testing with Vector Notching
Controlling forces on spacecraft structures is critical to avoid over-testing. Our force-limited vibration testing with vector notching digitally sums multiple force channels and applies precise notch control on resulting force vectors. This protects sensitive structures and payloads while maintaining accurate excitation for aerospace component testing and space qualification.
Structural and Modal Analysis for Space Hardware
Understanding structural behavior is key to confident spacecraft design and qualification. m+p international solutions support aerospace structural analysis, modal testing, and FEM correlation for spacecraft platforms, instrument decks, antennas and propulsion structures. These tools extract mode shapes, damping and frequency responses with high accuracy, giving deep insight into structural behavior across development and qualification phases.
Qualification for New Space and High-Volume Production
Space manufacturers need fast, cost-efficient and scalable qualification for CubeSats and microsatellites. m+p international supports CubeSat vibration testing, shock evaluation and small-satellite workflows, enabling high-throughput qualification with automated sequences and REST API integration. Used by SpaceX and European New Space pioneers.
Combined Environmental Workflows with Safety Integration
Qualifying spacecraft requires combining vibration, thermal cycling and acoustic loads. m+p international coordinates these profiles for complete aerospace environmental testing. Integrated safety interlocks, alarms and automatic shutdown logic protect high-value spacecraft, ensuring safe and repeatable qualification across test campaigns. Trusted by NASA.
