ALTER TECHNOLOGY is providing engineering, testing and logistics services to the Japanese company Mitsubishi ELectric COrporation (MELCO) in the procurement of European components under the HTV spacecraft ( H-II Transfer Vehicle ) project. The HTV vehicle is an unmanned...
For decades, military/space electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts have proved to be suitable for use in military and space applications. [NASA's Office of Safety & Mission Assurance (OSMA) evaluates newly available and advanced electronic parts for programs...
The space probe Rosetta was built by the ESA (European Space Agency) with the objective of reach and study Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Was launched on March 2004 from Kourou. To place it on the required orbit to rendezvous with Comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Alter...
Fully compliant with the project requirements Our commercial and technical expertise and experience allows us to recommend, select and supply components from good manufacturing sources (avoiding counterfeits). All EEE parts procured by us are fully inspected and tested to ensure...
1. Admissible methods for SEE testing were determined on accounts of their realization at Roscosmos Test Facilities. 2. The SEE Testing Aids (based on ions, proton and laser sources) were created and are currently in operation. 3. The Roscosmos Testing Aids provide tests for all...
Many basic testers availables which offer the capability to carry out a test in a rather short delay (a few weeks) at a relatively low cost. Capability to develop on demand test setup for complex devices (μP High frequency devices, RF fixtures etc…) higher cost driven by the...
Dark matter and dark energy are two of the greatest mysteries of the universe, perplexing scientists worldwide. Solving these scientific riddles may require a comprehensive approach in which theories, computations and ground-based observations are complemented by a fleet of...
The programme includes several spacecraft elements to be sent to Mars on two launches. The ExoMars 2016 Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) and an ESA-built EDM stationary lander called 'Schiaparelli' will be launched in March 2016. The TGO will deliver the stationary lander and then...
Solar Orbiter will be used to examine how the Sun creates and controls the heliosphere, the vast bubble of charged particles blown by the solar wind into the interstellar medium. The spacecraft will combine in situ and remote sensing observations to gain new information about...
The purpose of vibration tests is to evaluate the effect caused on component parts by vibration in a specified frequency range. The samples are subjected to testing under different conditions, as described below, in accordance with the respective applicable standards. The test...
The purpose of the incoming inspection is to identify potentially non-conforming parts, prior to placing the material in the inventory or moving it to the production flow. All parts and materials subject to receiving inspection are examined in accordance with customer purchase...
-New space missions impose stricter requirements on storage, vacuum conditions and operating temperature, exceeding the standard -55ºC / +125ºC range -Parts reliability has to be reanalysed to ensure mission performance -Specific characterization delta qualification tests have...
