APC Technology Environmental Testing solution for QuantX Labs

QuantX Labs is a cutting-edge space technology company that designs and develops advanced satellite systems for scientific and commercial purposes. Their work requires precise environmental testing to ensure that their technologies meet rigorous industry standards and can withstand extreme conditions in space.

Search for a reliable partner

QuantX Labs sought a reliable partner to conduct thorough environmental testing for their satellite systems. The company needed to verify the durability and functionality of their products under harsh conditions, including shock and vibration.. The challenge was to ensure the testing met all relevant industry standards, particularly those for space flight programs.

Customised solution

APC Technology provided a comprehensive suite of environmental testing services tailored to QuantX Labs’ specific needs. Our team worked closely with QuantX to deliver the following:

  • Shock and Vibration Testing: Conducted extensive shock and vibration testing in line with NASA’s General Environmental Verification Standard (GEVS), ensuring compliance with space flight program requirements.
  • Custom Test Plans: APC Technology collaborated with QuantX to develop test plans that ensured all aspects of the satellite systems were tested to the highest standards, using a combination of MIL-STD and NASA GSFC-STD specifications.

The foundations of flexibility

Our approach was built on a foundation of flexibility, reliability, and technical expertise. APC Technology’s environmental testing engineer worked directly with the QuantX team to define the testing parameters, ensuring that all products underwent the necessary evaluations to meet the stringent requirements of space missions.

  • Collaborative Test Planning: We worked alongside QuantX to develop test plans that adhered to industry guidelines, focusing on critical aspects of the satellite systems’ functionality in extreme conditions.
  • Advanced Testing Facilities: APC Technology used state-of-the-art testing equipment to simulate the physical stresses that satellite systems would encounter in space, ensuring that all results were accurate and actionable.
