Space is an exceptionally challenging industry for new product development and quality control. Equipment often has to be lightweight, robust and durable because it is subject to extreme environments, including exposure to extreme heat and cold cycling, ultra-vacuum, high energy radiation, and shock and vibration of launch. Extensive testing ensures that the final product will achieve its intended purpose while in Earth’s orbit.
To learn more about Gantner Instruments’ latest innovations in data acquisition hardware and software we cordially invite you to send a request for a meeting with Stephan Ploegman.
Gantner Instruments offers data acquisition solutions for space testing that border on the limits of the possibility, such as temperature measurement using a Pt100 sensor with a stability of 0.02° C/K. We select superior stability components for our strain gage measurement, which guarantee optimal results due to their ingenious circuitry. We can accurately measure frequencies from less than 1 Hz to 1 MHz. And we measure strain, pressure, acceleration, and temperature in an environmental test chamber under cryogenic and ultra-vacuum conditions using our fiber optic measurement technology.
ROCKET ENGINE TESTING
Thrust, pressure, temperature, fuel flow and vibration characterization.
SPACE SIMULATION TESTING
Environmental testing including solar simulation, thermal vacuum, and thermo-elastic deformation testing.
STATIC STRUCTURAL TESTING
Verification of static strength and determination of the load distribution across the rocket structure.
VIBRATION TESTING
Simulate the load conditions that a payload must survive during the rocket launch.

Arctic ice is disappearing — the question is how fast. Summer sea ice could endure 100 more years, or it could vanish later this decade, with disastrous consequences for the rest of the planet. To nail down the answer, an expedition to the top of the world has to uncover the complex physics of ice.

The world is changing around us. Advances in technology impact everything, especially the world of work. It’s predicted that future workers will spend more than twice as much time on job tasks requiring science, math, and critical thinking than today. At Gantner Instruments, we recognize the importance of STEM education: it holds the keys to success for kids facing a world where STEM knowledge is imperative. For that reason, we are proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space at the University of California, San Diego (SEDS UCSD).
