Industry-Leading CubeSat Dispensers
Standard Unit Dispensers
- Mass: 1.57 kg
- 3U RailPOD deployer saves considerable mass for the payload and reduces launch costs
- Flight heritage since 2017 on multiple commercial launch vehicles.
- Mass: 5.1 kg
- 6U NLAS deployer and launch integration service team is the first to send CubeSats to Mars.
- Flight heritage since 2016 on multiple commercial and US Govt/DoD launch vehicles
- Mass: 9.3 kg
- 12U deployer is the softest ride to orbit providing attenuation of launch vehicle environments and known vibration boundary conditions
- Flight hardware delivered and accepted for launch in Q2 2019
State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Facilities
Roughly 120,000 SqFt of Manufacturing space in Irvine, CA.
On-Site, high volume precision machining in Santa Maria, CA.
Coming Soon to Florida: The world’s largest Small satellite manufacturing facility.
Testing is our Quality
Incoming Inspection
Quality control of Terran Orbital’s approved vendors includes detailed inspection and acceptance testing of incoming parts. In-house inspection and test capabilities include:
- Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
- PCB X-Ray Inspection System
- HASS / HALT Testing
Integrated System Testing
To ensure operation in the space environment, in-house environmental test capabilities verify system level performance without requiring the satellite to travel off-site – reducing handling and schedule risk. Capabilities include:
- Thermal Vacuum Chambers
- Vibration Tables
- EMI Chambers
- Thermal Ambient Chambers
Assembly, Integration, And Test (AI&T)
We use modern tools for issue tracking, inventory management, procedure execution, and test automation that deliver complete traceability, transparency, and comprehensive test coverage at both the sub-system and integrated system level. Reducing schedule and cost does not mean cutting corners; it means optimizing the process to improve both quality and quantity through continuous improvement.
