IABG's Space Center has its own modern engineering office. The range of tasks extends from the design of complex test adapters and thermal systems to small adjustments to the MGSE during a test campaign.

The development of test-relevant MGSE requires detailed knowledge of its use in the assembly-integration-test phase as well as the test systems and procedures used. As IABG operates both the German national space center in Ottobrunn and the ESA test center in Noordwijk, we can offer our customers two decisive advantages:

• Test-specific requirements for the MGSE can be taken into account first-hand during the design phase
• The test adapters can be qualified on the same test facilities on which the actual test will later be carried out

IABG's spectrum ranges from design, construction, calculation and production to the qualification of test-relevant MGSE:

• Test adapters for mechanical tests
• Thermal test adapters
• Test item trolleys incl. leveling/turning device
• Temperature-controlled thermal plates, albedo plates
• Infrared irradiation equipment
• Associated FE calculation (mechanical and thermal)

Specialist advice

Another of our strengths is providing customers with expert advice on all test and system-related issues.

IABG can look back on over 60 years of experience in the operation of test systems and the implementation of test campaigns when it comes to advice on the preparation and implementation of your test campaigns or the construction of your own test systems.
