Flight Instrument/Sensor Development and Manufacturing

This subcontract focuses on the fabrication and development of specialized instruments and sensors for prime contractors supporting NASA Science Mission Directorate suborbital flight projects. The scope of work includes the design and machining of flight-ready housings using aerospace alloys, the integration of sensors into flight-qualified chassis, and the execution of rigorous thermal vacuum, vibration, and shock testing. All production is carried out using CNC machining and cleanroom environments to ensure the delivery of high-precision, flight-qualified instrument assemblies. The project requires strict adherence to NASA flight safety standards and the specific requirements outlined in the Payload Reference Document. Operating under NAICS code 334511, the contractor is responsible for ensuring that all deliverables meet the stringent quality and safety benchmarks necessary for aerospace deployment.
