Payload testing

Satellite payload systems are at the heart of every satellite design.

Therefore today's requirements for satellite payload systems must span a large variety of different applications. Payload systems must operate reliably in the hazards of space, providing reliable service for decades of operational life. Test and measurement solutions from Rohde & Schwarz provide the means to test and validate payload performance at the component, subsystem and system level. Our solutions support every aspect of the development and production process, from the initial design validation to TVAC performance verification and in-orbit service monitoring.
