We prove to the world that your products work in space.
PASQ specializes in space environmental testing of spacecraft equipment and components. With over 20 years of experience, and an European network of testing facilities, we make sure that you are ready for take-off.
Discover our servicesPASQ offers independent and transparent space testing & qualification with fixed plans. Our services include radiation exposure, vibration and shock, thermal testing and EMC. We test towards industry specifications relevant to our customer’s missions (typically ECSS, ESCC and NASA-GEVS).
The toughest job in the universe
Space components and equipment must be able to withstand extreme environmental conditions. Not just when they’re in space, but also during launch, separation and breaking through the atmosphere.
Testing in a simulated space environment help you minimize the risk of malfunction. PASQ perform test campaigns together with several partner facilities in Europe.
Test and qualify with PASQ
Multiple test sites
We work with a European network of trusted testing facilities. Customers are invited to participate in setup and testing via live video streaming.
Prepared test packages
Plan your work and know your cost with our fixed testing plans. Naturally, we can also define tests to your specification. At the end of a campaign, you receive a complete report including recommendations.
Independent verification
Our processes comply with industry standards endorsed by the European Space Agency and NASA. We propose suitable standards for your specific mission.
