Model Condensation & Coupled Load Analysis (CLA)

Any space mission is a complex system and requires according system engineering know-how.

Space System Engineering

Our extensive design know-how and experience helps designing complex parts and assemblies for extreme applications.

CAD Design

Lightweight structures for space applications with their complex details often require more than a standard analysis.
This is where our special structural engineering know-how comes in.

Structure Engineering

Our team has extensive expertise in providing fatigue and fracture control for a wide variety of projects ranging from small satellites, pressurised life support systems on the ISS to secondary structures of the Orion European service module.


Fatigue & Fracture Control

Extreme temperatures and vacuum make thermal control in space a huge challenge.

Thermal Engineering

What is the most severe environment for a spacecraft? The tests! Because of additional margins to ensure the flight environments are covered.

Test Engineering

Craig-Bampton Model Condensation and Coupled Load Analysis (CLA) are essential steps to verify a spacecraft is compatible with launching on a particular launcher.

Helping you navigate **decisions**

We provide deep subject matter expertise over the **space project Phases B2, C & D**

We approach each mission individually, selecting optimized solutions, that will be best suited for the specification and your business needs.

Optimised solutions

Our strategy is to always employ the best manufacturing technology for the given design task.

Best technologies

We deliver goals within the given constraints by breaking down the work into clearly defined work packages that come from the overall project plan.

Model Condensation & Coupled Load Analysis (CLA)

More than 100 satellites were successfully approved for flight with the help of our CLA services.
