Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE)

Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) are non flight items but have significant role during satellite manufacturing, integration, test and transportation. Most of them have to operate in cleanroom conditions with a direct interface to the flight hardware. These equipment have to protect the flight hardware and/or support its life from the first manufacturing steps to the launch.

What we offer

Our MGSE development and production process includes:

  • CAD design (SolidWorks),
  • structural analysis (SolidWorks Simulation, NASTRAN),
  • thermal analysis (NASTRAN, ESATAN),
  • machining (laser cutting, sawing, turning, CNC milling),
  • surface treatment (painting, anodizing, trivalent chromium),
  • assembly (insert gluing, fastening, riveting, gluing, taping),
  • verification (3D measurement, thermal testing, proof load test),
  • cleaning (critical cleaning in ISO 8 cleanroom).

Our company delivered a Machining Jig Cone to RUAG supporting the MetOp programme.

Our flight articles were supported by our supports during mechanical and thermal tests
