Thermal control subsystem (TCS) is used to maintain the temperature of all spacecraft components within certain limits.
Their creative thinking led to a unique use of the ESPA ring and innovative sourcing of other spacecraft components.
Electrical power is sent through power conditioning equipment before it passes through a power distribution unit over an electrical bus to other spacecraft components.
Many spacecraft components are made of aluminum, which has a low melting point.
The reentry survivability of spacecraft components is computed by either of two NASA methods.
The company designs, develops, constructs, launches and operates microsatellites and spacecraft components.
The rover and other spacecraft components are being assembled and are undergoing final testing.
SpaceQuest, Ltd., a spacecraft components and engineering company based in Fairfax, Virginia.
Instead, why not ship tiny embryos, in the care of a competent biologist ... We miniaturize other spacecraft components.
