Test for Space

Test safely before things get serious

In space travel, second chances are rare: often, only a single component or system is available for qualification – destroying a prototype is not an option. This workshop focuses on the practical planning and implementation of environmental and qualification tests (including vibration, sound, shock, mission profiles). The goal is to use a test system in such a way that all necessary verifications can be performed without endangering the only available hardware. Simulation and digital twins help to derive meaningful test profiles and load levels.

Cover all evidence with the right test system

The workshop is aimed at development engineers, test managers, and technical project managers in space projects who need to perform environmental and qualification tests under realistic operating conditions and want to make optimal use of their test system for this purpose.

This event will be exciting for you if...

• ... a single sample part must withstand a complete environmental and qualification campaign.

• ... you want to configure a test system so that vibration, shock, acoustics, and mission loads are covered with a single setup.

• ... you want to set test limits, notching, and limiting so that the hardware is challenged but not damaged.

• ... you want to translate field or mission data into representative test profiles.

• ...you want to understand how digital models and a digital twin can specifically support your testing strategy.

In the workshop, we will prepare setups together, perform shaker and shock tests, and apply the discussed methods directly to the test system—supplemented by examples of how digital models can be used to validate these tests in a meaningful way.
