We are proud to share about the ongoing investments we are making towards space testing, with the addition of a new Thermal Vacuum Chamber at our Space Simulation Center of Excellence in Santa Clarita, CA.

What makes this especially impactful is the facility’s role as a true one-stop-shop for space simulation testing—bringing TVAC, shock, vibration, acoustics, and EMI/EMC capabilities together under one roof.

We are honored to support Astrolab with testing for their FLIP rover as they prepare for its journey to the moon. 🌕

As a one-stop-shop for space simulation testing, we want to ensure that your equipment withstands the harsh environments it will experience both at launch and in space.

Pit stop on the way to the Moon.

FLIP headed to Element U.S. Space & Defense this week for final preflight testing. First up: Mass Properties testing. This provides final details about characteristics like the rover’s center of gravity and moments of inertia.

Next on the docket: vibration testing and the rover’s last thermal and vacuum chamber (TVAC) test.

The Moon is harsh and unrelenting. But these tests ensure FLIP is ready.
