Before It Launches, Test Every Connection
A small satellite may weigh only a few kilograms, but the expectations placed on it are enormous.
Whether a mission supports communications, Earth observation, research, or national defense, success depends on thousands of details being right. Among the most important are the electrical connections that link every subsystem together.
The challenge isn't simply finding defects. It's finding them before integration and launch, when they're easiest to correct.
That's why electrical testing remains such an important part of aerospace manufacturing. Continuity, shorts, insulation resistance, and dielectric withstand testing help verify that harnesses and cable assemblies are performing as intended before they ever leave the ground. Cirris' aerospace testing solutions support continuity, shorts, dielectric withstand (DW), and insulation resistance (IR) testing for mission-critical aerospace and satellite assemblies.
As the Small Satellite Conference approaches, we're looking forward to meeting the engineers, technicians, and mission assurance teams working to build reliable spacecraft in an increasingly ambitious industry.
Because when it comes to mission success, every connection matters.
Stop by Booth #2241 to discuss how early electrical testing can help support mission assurance from harness build through final integration.
