Precision Engineering Services
| Electron Beam Welding | Performs high-precision electron beam and automated orbital TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding, supporting the fabrication of mass spectrometer housings, miniature components, and plumbing lines. |
Spacecraft Instrumentation
| Spaceflight Mass Spectrometers | The Planetary Environments Laboratory designs, builds, and operates spaceflight mass spectrometers to measure neutral and ion species. |
| Spaceflight Visible-Infrared (Vis-IR) Spectrometers | Develops linear variable filter-based spectrometers for remote spectral characterization of planetary surfaces and atmospheres. Instruments can be configured as imaging or point spectrometers depending on application and spatial resolution needs. |
