Finding the Best Space Electronic Manufacturing
Space is the least forgiving environment there is, and electronics aren’t exactly known for their resilience. This means that you need a Nadcap certified electronic manufacturing service with serious qualities to make sure that they will stand up to the tests put to them by the space industry, including by using a radiation hardened electronics assembly. Some of these additional qualities include the following.
Fast Turn Around
The space industry moves quickly, since there are so many different pieces that all need to be made in the right order and at the right time.
High Quality End-Products
A “decent quality” end product isn’t going to cut it when you’re talking about space. Only the best quality electronics will be able to endure such a test.
NADCAP
The National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program ensure that the components being made are space-ready. Only manufacturers who have this accreditation can really ensure that the products re up to spec.
The Right Company for Space
Only sites, like FastSMT.com, that meet all of these tests will be trustworthy enough to take your products into space. In addition to Nadcap accreditation, they also have expertise for working with NASA and ISO-9000. The in-house work ensures high quality, and the turnaround times are measured in hours.
