Spaceflight Environmental Testing & Characterization

The Canadian Space Agency is seeking a subcontractor to conduct comprehensive performance testing of the FTS-ADCI instrument under simulated spaceflight environmental conditions, including thermal vacuum, vibration, shock, and radiation exposure to verify its ability to survive and function reliably in orbit. The testing must rigorously validate the instrument’s operational integrity across the full range of environmental stresses encountered during launch and mission operations, ensuring all systems meet required spaceflight standards without degradation in performance. This contract, posted on July 10, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, falls under NAICS code 541380 and is designated as a subcontract opportunity. Performance of the work is required to take place in Longueuil, Canada, and the procurement is managed by the Government of Canada on behalf of the Canadian Space Agency. All proposals must demonstrate technical capability, experience in environmental testing of space instrumentation, and adherence to the specified test protocols to qualify for award.
