Radiation Effects Testing
Why choose us?
Our team is backed by over 20 years of experience conducting testing at facilities such as TAMU, LBNL, and high energy proton accelerators, led by industry veterans with over 1000 hours of beam time at accelerator facilities. We streamline the process from design, fabrication, parts preparation, onsite testing, analysis, to reporting efficiently for our customer.
We've consistently provided support to NewSpace programs, who face a variety of unique challenges and expedited timelines for delivery. We function as a subject matter expert to offer guidance, deliver test results, and help new teams understand risk posture.
Our team also has direct experience performing radiation testing for NASA, DoD, and private space programs. When you choose us, you get our guarantee that the test results will withstand scrutiny by the industry's top experts.
Fill out the form to tell us the type of radiation testing you require, and when you need it. We typically respond within a day. We understand the urgency to meet schedule.
