We have supported the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with the Engineering Validation Testing of their minisatellite PEAKSAT, an essential milestone on their path to launch.

In our laboratories, PEAKSAT successfully underwent vibration testing under ISO 8 clean conditions, ensuring the satellite can withstand the mechanical loads of launch. Our team also designed and manufactured a custom vibration fixture compatible with the Exolaunch POD, guaranteeing a precise and safe interface during the test campaign.

The satellite was then exposed to Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) testing, performed as environmental thermal cycles in high vacuum within our ISO 7 Clean Room. Throughout the test, the customer had online access to pressure and temperature monitoring. Additionally, the PEAKSAT team carried out electrical measurements both on-site and remotely, using secure remote access to the control equipment via a dedicated port.

These qualification tests are key for any small satellite: they verify structural robustness, reveal potential weaknesses before launch, and ultimately increase the chances of mission success once in space.
