02 / Space Engineering & Advisory

Making technologies space-ready. From requirements and feasibility to qualification and mission deployment.

YSTECH supports companies, research organisations and institutional partners in understanding what is required to operate technologies successfully in space. We translate mission objectives into engineering requirements, verification strategies, payload concepts and practical routes toward qualification and flight.

Requirements Feasibility Testing Payload Engineering Qualification Mission Integration
Engineering pathway

Space qualification begins long before a technology reaches a test facility.

01

Requirements

Translate mission objectives into measurable technical, environmental and operational requirements.

02

Feasibility

Determine whether the technology, process or material can operate under the expected mission conditions.

03

Design

Adapt the concept into a system, experiment or payload compatible with the target platform.

04

Test

Define representative environmental and functional tests based on credible failure modes and mission conditions.

05

Qualify

Build evidence that the technology satisfies relevant performance, safety and interface requirements.

06

Integrate

Resolve mechanical, electrical, thermal, data and operational interfaces with the mission platform.

Our objective is not simply to recommend a test campaign. It is to establish the engineering logic that connects mission requirements, design decisions, verification evidence and operational deployment.

What we do

Engineering support across the complete path to space deployment.

01 / REQUIREMENTS

Mission & Technology Requirements

Definition and traceability of functional, performance, environmental and interface requirements derived from the intended mission.

02 / FEASIBILITY

Space Compatibility Assessment

Evaluation of materials, processes, components and architectures against the relevant space environment and operational constraints.

03 / VERIFICATION

Testing & Qualification Strategy

Definition of technically justified verification programmes covering thermal, vacuum, vibration, radiation, microgravity and other relevant environments.

04 / PAYLOAD

Payload & Experiment Design

Translation of scientific or technological objectives into compact, controllable and platform-compatible experimental systems.

05 / MANUFACTURING

In-Space Manufacturing Assessment

Evaluation of whether manufacturing, processing or material transformation routes remain viable under microgravity, vacuum and constrained spacecraft operation.

06 / INTEGRATION

Mission & Platform Integration

Assessment and resolution of mechanical, electrical, thermal, data, safety and operational interfaces with the selected flight platform.

Platforms & environments

Engineering decisions depend on where and how the technology will operate.

01

CubeSats

Compact payloads, severe volume and power constraints, rapid development cycles.

02

ISS

Crew safety, experiment operations, interfaces and controlled environments.

03

Free Flyers

Autonomous payload operation and dedicated microgravity experimentation.

04

Lunar

Dust, radiation, thermal cycling and highly constrained surface operations.

05

Exploration

Technologies intended for remote, long-duration and demanding mission scenarios.
