Space Exploration Applications
Enabling Precision, Reliability, and Innovation in the Final Frontier
Exploring the Moon and Beyond
As space exploration advances scientific discovery and commercial innovation, the need for precise, reliable technology is paramount. INFICON supports this mission with advanced solutions that are essential for successful space exploration.
Our long-time partnership with NASA, in addition to our collaboration with commercial space exploration companies and spacecraft manufacturers, positions us well to deliver space-ready technologies that meet the highest standards of precision and reliability. We deliver solutions for critical applications across the entire space value chain. From research and development to flight preparation space manufacturing, in situ resource utilization (ISRU), and orbital infrastructure health monitoring, we are a trusted partner with proven experience. We also cover lunar and planetary explorations by supporting government and commercial mission launches.
Some of our key applications and capabilities to support space exploration include:
- Detecting, analyzing, and identifying gases on the lunar surface in real time
- Detecting, monitoring, and quantifying water and other volatile compounds for ISRU
- Monitoring specialty anti-reflective or anti-fogging coatings on space suits
- Monitoring cabin air in real time for spacecrafts and orbital infrastructure
- Ensuring proper rocket manufacturing specifications
- Aiding the manufacturing of satellite solar panels
- Monitoring toxic and cryogenic fuel leaks and critical pressure parameters
- Exploring turning waste into fuel for long term habitation of moon and other planets
Achieve Mission Success
We do this using our many sensing technologies and advanced process controls that are behind our residual gas analyzers, optical emission spectrometers, thin film controllers, quartz crystals, leak detectors, pressure gauges, and RF measurement devices. Coupled with our proprietary software, users gain real-time visibility into their processes and immediate control of their systems to enable the highest quality insights during research and development and manufacturing, including at critical launch events and missions.
INFICON looks forward to partnering with you – to the moon and beyond.
