Scope

Tooling that respects flight interfaces and cleanroom constraints

We start from the client's actual integration process to define which devices are needed and which are shared across phases. Every item is structurally verified and leaves with its fabrication documentation and load test.

See the full discipline →

  • Support structures for assembly and testing
  • Lifting and tilting tooling
  • Satellite adapters and interfaces
  • Transport containers and devices
  • Benches and fixtures for environmental testing
  • Finite element structural verification
  • Design for manufacture and complete documentation
  • Manufacturing and load testing

Deliverables

Integration process analysis

Which tooling each phase needs and what can be shared.

3D model, drawings and calculation report

Load cases, safety factors and structural verification.

Fabrication documentation

BOM, welding specification, treatments and load test protocol.

Manufactured equipment

With test certificate and user manual.

Code framework

Codes we work to

We work to the contractual edition of the project. In case of conflict, the agreed document hierarchy prevails.

  • ASME
  • API
  • ANSI
  • AWS
  • DIN
  • ISO
  • KTA
  • IEEE
  • Eurocode
