Inspections & Surveys

Through the experience gained in performing surveys, our team has developed imagery analysis skills to assess spacecraft health during both the launch and on-orbit phases of flight.

In addition to assessments of environmental exposure, we also have experience providing analysis following major events. We are involved in all steps from coordinating imagery acquisition, performing imagery screening/analysis, and presenting imagery findings to management for time-critical decisions.
