NTS's advanced test capabilities have allowed our participation in every major space project since the inception of manned space exploration. NTS performs research, development, tests, and system evaluations on a wide range of aircraft, vehicles, systems, and components. Our test capabilities include dynamic response, acoustic intensity, and modal analysis on aircraft structures and systems; evaluation of electronic and hydraulic systems for advanced aircraft and vehicles; and severe environment and hazardous flow tests, among others.
NTS leads the industry in testing associated with space vehicles, hardware and satellite technology. For fuel cells, solar panels, composite antennas, batteries and various mechanical and electronic devices, NTS can custom engineer chambers and fixtures to conduct a complete range of space related phenomena.
Climatic and space simulation provides for demanding test requirements with combined environments of temperature, altitude and humidity. Thermal vacuum chambers provide temperature extremes from -320° F to 1000°F with combined ambient pressures of 1x10-8 TORR. Salt fog, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and copper chloride chambers are sized up to 6' by 10' by 8'. Explosive atmosphere chambers simulate 100,000 feet and temperatures to -320°F.
