Flight and Space Testing

Dewesoft DAQ systems are used by leading aerospace companies like NASA, ESA, Space X, Airbus, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, to name just a few. Our systems handle every kind of physical measurement, advanced structural dynamics, acoustics and electrical power testing. You’ll find Dewesoft on the factory floor as well as on board the aircraft, at wind tunnels, acoustic chambers, ground stations and at the launchpad. In addition to sensor data we record digital data from aircraft and spacecraft, with full support for ARINC-429 and MIL-STD-1553 buses, PCM telemetry, IRIG 106 - Chapter 10, Ethernet packets, and iNet telemetry.

How NASA Tested the Space Shuttle: Ground Testing, Avionics, and Data Acquisition Explained

NASA’s Space Shuttle program relied on extensive ground testing to validate the Shuttle's engines, structures, and avionics. Using advanced sensors and data acquisition systems, NASA conducted hot-fire, vibration, wind tunnel, and flight simulations to ensure safety and performance. Key facilities, such as Stennis, Marshall, and SAIL, enabled rigorous validation, making data the cornerstone of the Shuttle’s engineering success.

How the Concorde Was Developed and Tested: Inside the Supersonic Airliner Program

The Concorde, developed through a groundbreaking UK–France partnership, was a supersonic airliner that underwent one of the most extensive testing programs in aviation history. Over a decade, engineers and test pilots logged more than 5,000 flight hours, half at supersonic speeds, across global test sites. From extreme temperature trials to innovative engine and aerodynamic testing, Concorde’s development set new speed, safety, and international collaboration benchmarks.

How Aerospace Telemetry Works and Why It’s Crucial for Space Missions

Aerospace telemetry collects and transmits critical data—such as temperature, pressure, and speed—from onboard sensors to ground stations for real-time monitoring and analysis. Using specialized sensors, commutators, robust RF links, and synchronized ground receivers, telemetry guarantees accurate, time-aligned data that underpins mission safety and success.
