Comprehensive Aerospace Testing Services
There is no compromise in the manufacture and testing of reliable and robust onboard equipment. Aerospace equipment must demonstrate dependability with enough safety margin through a range of environments. Most important of those are the electromagnetic and physical environments and the standards driving those tests.
Elite provides fully integrated aerospace environmental testing, electrical testing, and EMC for aerospace systems—all from a single campus. Our impressive array of equipment, facilities, and test experts are in place to perform nearly all RTCA-DO-160 tests. Elite is the laboratory of choice for one-stop bundled testing services, saving time and program costs. Aerospace testing is best done by the most experienced and capable labs. You can trust Elite to get your testing done accurately and efficiently.

Space-bound devices include:
- Monitoring systems
- Sensors
- Fuel systems
- Filters
- Avionics boxes
- Power sources
- LED lights for spacecraft
- Solenoid assemblies
- Electronic instruments
- Guidance systems
- Cable harness for space station applications
- Propulsion components for spacecraft
Aerospace Industry Standards
Elite’s vibration, shock, and high-G shaker testing equipment can confirm your product’s compliance with MIL-STD requirements:
- MIL-STD-810 Environmental Stress Testing
- MIL-STD-883 Mechanical Shock and Vibration Testing
- MIL-STD-202 Environmental, Shock and Vibration Testing
- EIA-364 Environmental Stress Testing of Electrical Connectors
- MIL-PRF-15305 Vibration Testing
- NASA-STD-7001B
Elite is also uniquely qualified to perform EMC testing on space system equipment according to MIL-STD-461G and any unique requirements specified by the manufacturer.
MIL-STD-461G is a military standard for the control of electromagnetic interference (EMI), covering a wide range of equipment that includes ground, aircraft, and space vehicles. MIL-STD-461G identifies levels of conducted emissions (CE), conducted susceptibility (CS), radiated emissions (RE), and radiated susceptibility (RS) for different equipment categories.
