Engineering standards that hold up under pressure.
Our protocols are the repeatable standards behind every mission, from design reviews and supplier integration to test campaigns and operations. They keep complex programs coherent and safe.
How we build and operate.
Design reviews
Every subsystem passes through conceptual, preliminary, and critical design reviews before fabrication. Each gate checks requirements, interfaces, risks, and verification plans.
Safety gates
Hazard analysis, failure modes, and operational constraints are documented before any hardware is tested or flown. Safety holds the final veto on go/no-go decisions.
Test campaigns
Test plans define environments, success criteria, and regression checks. Results are recorded, reviewed, and fed back into the design loop before advancing to the next phase.
Documentation
Procedures, drawings, and operational notes are versioned and traceable. Knowledge is captured so future teams can reproduce, audit, and improve the work.
Supplier integration
Partners and suppliers provide clear specs, acceptance criteria, and quality evidence. Incoming hardware is inspected and logged before integration into a larger system.
Mission operations
Flight and ground operations follow checklists, contingency plans, and defined command authority. Deviations are logged, assessed, and resolved before continuing.
Work with our protocols.
Partners and suppliers who align with these standards help us keep the entire mission stack reliable. If you are building components or subsystems for space, let us know.
