To ensure that spacecraft, hardware and instruments will perform in the space environment, SwRI provides mechanical and reliability analysis services that meet standards for NASA and commercial spaceflight operations. We have decades of experience in designing and fabricating space instruments used in large- and small-scale missions. Through this work we have developed a proven process for analyzing hardware prior to spaceflight.
