Qualified components in military and aerospace design: terminating and attenuating microwaves in space - Story

February 12, 2025

Using qualified components is vital to mission success in military- and aerospace-employed design and deployment, particularly for microwave technology in space termination applications. The parts-qualification process tests that components provide reliable performance for the lifespan of the mission, improving performance and safety. By adhering to industry standards – such as MIL-DTL-39030, which covers the qualification and general requirements for coaxial and stripline electrical loads for testing – and leveraging advanced testing and evaluation methods, designers and engineers can develop reliable and effective space hardware that can withstand the harsh conditions of space.
