Testing &
Engineering for the
Space Industry

Space is among the most hostile of operating environments for any electronic component or system. It is a vacuum, with no atmospheric pressure compared to Earth, and it is subject to large swings in temperature and several forms of radiation, depending upon the distance from Earth.


Testing for space exploration requires precision engineering and the ability to simulate some of the harshest conditions known to science, including microgravity, extreme thermal cycles, and high radiation environments. DTB’s state-of-the-art facilities and expert engineers deliver unmatched testing capabilities for the space industry.

Vibration and Shock Testing

to replicate the forces experienced during launch and deployment


Thermal Vacuum Testing

to simulate the vacuum and temperature extremes of space

EMI/EMC Testing

to ensure electronic systems function reliably in high-radiation environments

Materials and Structural Testing

for components subjected to extreme stress and fatigue


Environmental Simulation

for pressure, humidity, and thermal cycle conditions

DFAN Testing

to simulate the noise that occurs during launch

Mass Properties Testing

to analyze and measure the physical characteristics of an object, such as center of gravity

Our testing methodologies provide the accurate data needed for certification and mission success, supporting both government and private-sector space programs.
