Testing Facilities
Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with a wide range of test platforms designed to validate and optimize the performance of space and planetary mobility systems.
These include dedicated setups for satellite-to-satellite approach and docking scenarios, ensuring precision and reliability in autonomous proximity operations.
We conduct rigorous stress and endurance testing for rover platforms and individual wheels, simulating extended mission duration and extreme environmental conditions. Our locomotion testbeds accommodate a variety of soil types, enabling accurate assessment of traction and maneuverability in realistic terrains.
Specialized drawbar pull and angle climb rigs support detailed performance evaluations for both single-wheel units and full rover systems, helping refine mobility capabilities for challenging slopes and hauling tasks.
These facilities support comprehensive testing campaigns, enabling the development and qualification of robust, mission-ready systems.
