Stylized technical engineering schematic for spacecraft subsystem reliability analysis

Strategic Positioning in Orbit

We bridge the gap between rapid development and rigorous mission assurance. Our expertise spans spacecraft systems, propulsion modules, and complex constellation architectures, including comprehensive RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) engineering.

From rapid parts-count estimates to support early-stage bids, to detailed lifetime and availability modeling for critical subsystem reviews, we deliver quantitative engineering insights that drive design decisions and secure stakeholder confidence.

Why partner with us

speed

Fast and flexible

Scope can be adjusted rapidly to match your budget, schedule, and programme maturity. We move at the speed of New Space.

rocket_launch

Built for New Space

We tailor reliability analyses to the needs of New Space programmes, government agencies, and traditional aerospace primes. Our work has supported customers and programmes across the industry, including NASA, Lockheed Martin, Thales, and Airbus.

architecture

Practical and standards-aware

We provide full support for MIL-HDBK-217 and FIDES 2009 methodologies. Running parameter sweeps to determine impact of mission profile and part quality, we deliver analysis based on life test or flight data.

handshake

Transparent handover

No black boxes. All models, assumptions, and raw data are fully documented and handed over to the client for ongoing use.

school

Training available

We upskill your engineers. Client teams can be trained in fundamental and reliability analysis methodologies.

Core Capabilities

Methodology

MIL-HDBK-217 / FIDES Analysis

Rigorous component-level failure rate calculations adhering to recognized defense and aerospace standards, including RAMS and FMECA.

Early Phase

Rapid Parts-Count Estimates

Quick-turnaround baseline reliability figures essential for proposal development and initial architecture sizing.

Simulation

Wear-out & Physics of Failure

We develop specialized wear-out models for physics-of-failure analysis to predict when mechanical or other parts may fail, most notably thruster wear-out from erosion.

Improvements

Redundancy & Availability

Develop comparisons showing the impact of redundancy, improved parts quality, mission / thermal impact, and perform detailed availability analysis (RAMS) to maximize mission uptime.

Operations

Fleet Reliability Analytics

Analysis of on-orbit data to predict future performance across constellation deployments.

Other

FTA & FMECA Safety Analysis

Detailed Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMECA) to identify critical single-point failures and system-level risks.

Engineering Outputs

Representative scopes of work executed for space sector clients.

Government Prime

Standards-based analysis for NASA/government projects

Delivered comprehensive industry-standard compliance reports for a critical earth observation payload, passing preliminary design review (PDR) with zero action items.

Commercial Constellation

Fleet failure trend analysis & on-orbit reliability

Analyzed telemetry from 40+ operational spacecraft to isolate a systematic power distribution anomaly, enabling a software patch that extended average fleet lifetime by 18 months.

Propulsion Startup

Hall-effect thruster modeling

Developed a probabilistic wear-out model for cathode degradation, providing the analytical foundation for a 5-year guarantee offered to satellite prime contractors.

Subsystem Supplier

Rapid bid estimates

Provided 48-hour turnaround parts-count reliability figures for a communications payload RFP, directly contributing to a successful €4M contract win.
