Design & Analysis

Design & Analysis Ltd helps space companies design equipment that survives launch and operates reliably in orbit.

• Launch – it simulates shock, vibration and dynamic loading to ensure spacecraft and payload hardware can withstand the demanding launch environment.
• Orbit – it assesses thermal stresses and fatigue caused by repeated thermal cycling, ensuring long-term structural integrity throughout the mission.

Design & Analysis’s advanced structural simulations will identify potential failures before hardware is built, reducing development risk, testing costs and programme delays. The company’s expertise includes mechanical structural design from initial concept through detailed CAD models and manufacturing drawings, together with physical testing specifications to validate analytical models and verify design performance.

It also provides life extension assessments, reverse engineering, failure investigations and root-cause analysis, helping clients resolve complex engineering challenges and maximise asset reliability. Whether you are developing new space hardware or investigating an in-service structural issue, Design & Analysis Ltd can provide the engineering support needed to deliver reliable, mission-ready solutions.
