Ground Support Equipment

The success of space exploration begins on the ground

Supporting Missions at Every Stage

From assembly to evaluation and testing.

From assembly and integration to pre-launch testing, every spacecraft depends on precise, reliable ground support equipment (GSE). XCAM Scientific designs and delivers advanced GSE solutions that ensure instruments, satellites, and launch systems are accurately tested, calibrated, and ready for mission. Our rugged, configurable equipment helps mission teams streamline workflows, maintain strict quality standards, and reduce risk, so every launch starts with confidence.

XCAM Scientific provides ground systems engineered to perform under the same demanding standards as the missions they support.

Application Areas

From detector evaluation and optics testing – to monitoring clean room environments for optimal assembly conditions, XCAM Scientific’s advanced imaging and detector technologies support space missions from the ground up.

Ground-Based Testing
for Space Optics

Low-outgassing GSE imaging solutions provide high-resolution and low-noise measurements for ground-based space optics testing, enabling accurate calibration, alignment verification, and performance assessment of optical systems before launch.

Detector Evaluation
by Space Scientists

Detector evaluation kits enable space scientists to evaluate detector performance with high precision, capturing detailed response, sensitivity, and noise characteristics, ensuring reliable operation of imaging sensors in demanding space environments. They also enable radiation testing to confirm that detectors can endure the intense radiation encountered in space.

Clean Room Particle Fall Out Monitoring

Particle fallout monitoring solutions in clean rooms- provide high-resolution, real-time imaging to detect and quantify contaminant particles, ensuring stringent cleanliness standards for various sectors including aerospace and semiconductor manufacturing.

Manufacture & Assembly to Space Standards

Designed and manufactured to space-grade standards, GSE imaging solutions provide precise visual inspection, alignment verification, and defect detection, ensuring components meet stringent quality, cleanliness, and performance requirements for space missions. Every material is tested for outgassing and fully documented with an ECSS- compliant material list.
