Space Hardware Systems Integration

Bionetics’ engineers and scientists are leaders in the area of biological experiment hardware development for space flight. The conditions of space, spacecraft, and other planets place unique demands on hardware for food production or other life support. With over 20 years experience in the design, fabrication, testing and certification of space qualified experiment hardware, Bionetics offers a turn-key solution for science and technology in space.

Bionetics’ project management staff offers complete services to facilitate the integration of a payload aboard a space craft – both domestic and international. Services include requirements definition, integration services to the carrier, astronaut training, mission support, and post mission data collection and archival. Additionally, the diverse Bionetics engineering staff are experienced in the unique interface and safety requirements and solutions for the space environment. Our strategy is always to produce hardware which safely meets the operational requirements with no engineering exceedances. Innovative and unique solutions as well as commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware are used throughout our projects. We have commercialized several of the technologies developed for NASA.

As NASA’s vision leads our efforts to the Moon and Mars, our focus will be on verifying performance of the science and technologies to take us there and provide life support to future inhabitants. Remote monitoring and interaction, and increased reliability are just two challenges that we are beginning to address in improving our current technologies.
