Space Hardware Qualification Testing Experts

Experior Laboratories specializes in creating high-performing and demanding qualification testing environments, ranging from single components to final flight systems.
Experior Labs’ capabilities encompass well-known and accepted test standards such as MIL-STD-810, RTCA DO-160, as well as many others, but excel with Vibration and Shock, Thermal Vacuum and Cryogenic Temperature Testing associated with rocket launches, stage separation events, payload deployments and in-orbit satellite and spacecraft operations.
Supplementing our wide range of testing capabilities, Experior Labs partnered with industry testing experts DNB Engineering, Inc. for their EMI/EMC, HiRF and Lightning Strike expertise and MSI-DFAT System for their Direct Field Acoustic Testing (DFAT) expertise with the mutual goal of offering the most comprehensive overall service portfolio and generating substantial impact for strategic proposals. These partnerships promise to provide a superior client experience to our customers within the Military, Aerospace and Space industries.

Vibration

Experior Laboratories’ MIL-STD-790 approved and ISO-17025:2017 accredited laboratory houses multiple state-of-the-art electrodynamic vibration testing systems that can handle the most demanding vibration and shock testing specifications.

For extreme vibration testing applications of large platforms, Experior Labs vibration testing systems can be used in tandem to provide a combined 80,000 lbf for large articles (example: 14 ft actuator for stage separation). Custom-made vibration testing fixtures and slip plates allow us to test parts of almost any shape and size.

Pyroshock

Pyroshock testing simulates the high G, high-frequency shock environment associated with pyrotechnic events, such as rocket stage separations. These are sometimes called “SRS Shock” tests, as they are specified with a Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) profile. This profile is a representation of the maximum predicted acceleration of a system across a range of assumed natural frequencies.

Experior Laboratories’ Kinetic Impact Pyroshock Simulation (KIPS) test systems are able to simulate near and midfield Pyroshock, experienced by components closest to a pyrotechnic event, using a high-speed impact to excite a tunable resonant beam. Adjusting the impact force, location and damping, this platform allows for highly customizable shock generation and the pneumatic systems allow for quick setup and reset.

Thermal Vacuum

Experior Laboratories’ vacuum test chambers are designed to meet the harsh requirements of space conditions. Experior Labs is capable of simulated space along with repeated cycling between high and low temperature extremes – all while providing test data to better assess likely flight mission performance and function.

Lightning Strike

Experior Laboratories, Inc and DNB Engineering, Inc. are partnering with the mutual goal of offering the most comprehensive overall service portfolio and generating substantial impact for strategic proposals. The partnership promises to provide a superior client experience to our customers within the Aerospace, Military, Automotive, Telecommunication, and Medical industries.

Cryogenic
Temperature Testing

Experior Laboratories test facility can simulate extreme low cryogenic temperatures for aerospace, fiberoptic and electrical applications. Our cryogenic chambers have liquid nitrogen and liquid helium tanks piped in for rapid chilling and freezing temperatures.

Many space components require Cryogenics Testing for parts and instruments exposed to the extreme temperatures in rockets and orbit.

Fast Ramp Temperature Testing

Experior Laboratories has several accelerated life thermal chambers with high-flow blower motors and liquid nitrogen boost designed to transition temperature as quickly as possible, and are ideal for tests with demanding ramp rates.

Each of these chambers is equipped with passthrough ports for instrumentation and vacuum jacketed facility LN2.

Chambers have redundant high-flow solenoid valves and redundant overtemperature controllers for reliability. Dry GN2 purge is available if needed.
