Human Space Vehicle System

Spacecraft systems are unlike any other because they interface not only with equipment on the spacecraft but also remote external equipment for end-to-end testing under controlled RF conditions. Design and develop communication systems to electromagnetic radiation properties.

Create and test advanced structural, mechanical, thermal concepts for space vehicles. Plan to design structures that can withstand extreme environments like those found on Mars or Jupiter's moon Europa, and mechanisms capable of adapting when exposed to unknown forces such as being hit by an asteroid.

Wide range of testing capabilities that include designing tests for the various systems needed to support human exploration of space - like battery performance and abuse, fuel cell testing - as well as providing energy conversion engineering expertise through research programs which includes work on renewable sources such as solar cells or wind turbines.

High fidelity, real-time, and human-in-the-loop engineering simulations. Modeling expertise with math models as well as scene generation makes your simulation more authentic. Realistic control station mockups or complex embedded systems that operate flight and ground equipment. Computer graphics provide an immersive experience while testing new environments where multiple models are integrated into single situations.

Expertise and facilities for the development of spacecraft, flight, and new technologies. Access designed testing systems astronauts use in space to prevent injury from extreme temperatures like ISS cooling suits protecting astronauts from huge temperature changes between day and night time shifts.goes here

Pyrotechnics Test Facility provides testing capabilities and subjects hardware to the vibrations they could encounter during launch or landing conditions. Utilize explosive handling rooms with earth-covered bunkers where NASA Standard Initiators (NSIs) are stored at -420°F where all spacecraft are tested before launched into space.re

Pressure suits and crew protection systems. Expertise can be found in all aspects, including development, testing analysis certification failure investigation with launch/entry pressure suit design, vehicle seats occupant protection systems, survival radios, life rafts, emergency breathing system, automatic inflation devices, etc.es here

Aim to make work easier and safer in space, design the tools that will be used by astronauts on their missions. Experts design IVA (intra-vehicular activity) and EVA (extravehicular activities) equipment for both current programs such as ISS but also future endeavors like spaceships or planetary exploration vehicles themselves.
