:: On-Orbit Testing :: Space Station and Shuttle-based Demonstration and Experimentation Advances in spacecraft technologies sometimes require on-orbit testing, and new space hardware products often need "space heritage" to break into the market. How can you achieve on-orbit developmental testing of new space technology concepts or demonstrate their ability to endure the space environment at an affordable cost? As a NASA Research Partnership Center, we have NASA-authorized access to internal racks and external sites on the ISS and space shuttle specifically for conducting these kinds of engineering research and technology demonstration missions. We can also integrate payloads onto the full spectrum of commercial launch systems. For testing and demonstrating commercial products, we can help with all the important stages in your project: matching funds for concept phase; market assessment and business planning; product technical development; payload development, fabrication and qualification; and connections with potential customers and business partners.
