Assurance and Safety for Components and Systems
ISP provides experienced Product and Quality Assurance and Safety services, with in-depth knowledge and tailoring of applicable ECSS guidelines, proven interface with Agencies and industry, reporting of as-designed and as-built Declared Lists and ensuring compliance to required performance diligence.
ISP also provides experienced Quality Assurance services, ensuring internal processes and protocols meet ECSS and other applicable requirements to produce reliable Flight parts and systems, NCR management and monitoring and leading fault investigation and rectification processes.
Flight Components and Ground Equipment Engineering
ISP leads and manages the definition, design and MAIT phases of spaceflight components and mechanical or transfer ground systems for use on Flight models, in the lab, cleanroom, or at launch site.
Subsystem Engineering
ISP supports subsystem engineering design and procurement activities, exploiting the expertise and experience of its personnel, built up over many years dealing with common suppliers, both in Europe and in the US.
The role requires a detailed knowledge of the design, construction and operation of each component, from the complex pressure regulator to the more basic hydraulic tubing and fittings.
The Company has provided support to propellant and pressurant tank procurement, as well as for pyrotechnic valves and all other major equipment found in propulsion subsystems, and procurement of complete systems.
Design & Operation
Our Consultants’ depth of involvement in a variety of different types of propulsion subsystems over 40 years allows us to advise constructively on design, configuration and layout issues, with added consideration to production, test and operating restrictions that may manifest themselves.
We apply the same consideration to our procurement support, whether for raw materials, tubing and fittings, components or complete systems.
ISP can provide support to Launch/Early Operation Phase (LEOP) operations, or spacecraft mission operation.
We pay attention to detail, focus on critical areas and strive to secure the product in compliance to requirements.
Safety & Reliability
Owing to the hostile nature of the environment systems must operate in, industrial confidence depends on the demonstration of safety and reliability.
In order to achieve this, ISP support services reflect the current state-of-the-art with respect to accepted practice, material and process specifications, standards of workmanship and product quality.
We support all aspects of product assurance and quality engineering, as well as providing expertise to evaluate systems and supporting ground equipment and protocols so as to maximise perceived reliability and increase Customer confidence.
