Ground/Flight Test Engineering and Test Operations
Qualis provides engineering, operational, and configuration management support to ground test facilities and flight test operations during the development and early operational phases of launch vehicles and spacecraft. Our support includes test planning, instrumentation, test support, data gathering and evaluation, and design recommendations leading to mission assurance and risk evaluation.
We are experienced developing test requirements, test objectives, and test plans. For example, Qualis personnel designed, developed and flight-tested the Advanced Video Guidance System (AVGS) for the DARPA Orbital Express program and also tested and supported development of micro-thrusters for the Gravity Probe B experiment. We review the pressure traces from every Solid Rocket Motor flight for the Space Shuttle for performance and health monitoring. We also review the flight hardware for quality assurance. |
