Space Vector maintains in-house all the capability necessary to take a program or project from concept to production. Our engineering and manufacturing organizations have the necessary experience and creativity to provide innovative solutions to the most complex tasks.<\/p>\n
Our cohesive team consists of experts in the fields of:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Space Vector has over 40 years of experience in launch vehicle design and missile guidance and control (G&C).<\/p>\n
Space Vector produces a variety of custom avionics boxes for the launch vehicle industry. Some boxes are build-to-print to customer designs but most are designed-to-specification where Space Vector provides all the engineering design and documentation. We also perform all the necessary individual acceptance testing (IAT) on each unit and qualification testing required by the program.<\/p>\n
Examples of custom avionics developed by Space Vector include:<\/p>\n
ait-2 Payload Modal Analysis<\/p>\n
Payload Integration<\/p>\n
The Space Vector air bearing facility is used to to test post boost attitude control systems in a space-like environment. This is a complete hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) test running the flight software. TM data and laser pointer traces are used to verify system performance.<\/p>\n

Space Vector has developed a variety of ruggedized test consoles using proven data acquisition and analysis software together with data acquisition cards. The test consoles are centered around a COTS computer. Standard models are designed into a two to three stack 19-inch rack anti-vibration transit cases with an optional printer.<\/p>\n
One of our key pieces of test equipment is the Telemetry Ground Station. This system can receive up to 5 S-Band PCM links (2200 to 2400 MHz) simultaneously. Each link has a 10 Mbit\/sec data width and outputs can be configured as NRZL, NRZM, NRZS, and 422 data. The system uses dual processors operating at 450 MHz. Data is stored directly to an 18 GB hard drive for processing.<\/p>\n
Space Vector owns two GPS constellation simulators: A Spirent GSS7700 and a dual output GSS8000. These simulators are used for testing our GPS tracking units under flight representative scenarios.<\/p>\n
