Clean Rooms Services.
Highly efficient clean rooms are pre-requisites in satellite construction as even the smallest contaminants can damage delicate spacecraft systems or jeopardize a mission. Specifically the best solutions result in:
- Preventing Particulate Contamination
- Protecting Sensitive Electronics
- Maintaining Chemical Cleanliness
- Ensuring Reliability in Space
- Meeting Industry and Mission Requirements
Compliance is required for Launch integration, Orbital debris mitigation and Precision scientific missions.
Plastron Clean Room with Low Energy HVAC System
Plastron was established to make the space sector safer – by design and our clean rooms are the very best and most efficient available. Our flagship product is the Plastron Clean Room with it's Low Energy HVAC system (Plastron payload processing facility), a modular state-of-the-art structure designed for all types of hazardous activities involving spacecraft. Our facility meets current European space standards for spacecraft cleanrooms, providing a highly efficient ISO8, ATEX z1 explosive atmosphere working environment for:
- High pressure hardware test and qualification
- Propellant loading
- Launchsite checkout
- Post-flight quarantine and decontamination
The Plastron is a stand-alone mobile facility, employing a high-quality supply-chain to ensure all facility systems are fit-for-purpose. Drawing on our expertise in hazardous engineering and cleanroom workflows, the Plastron clean room helps to optimise processing timelines and with its custom-designed HVAC air system, consumes less than 50% power of conventional cleanroom HVAC systems.
Satellite failure rates vary, but consensus is that they range from 20 - 45% depending on definition and application. Can you afford NOT to use the most efficent cleanrooms in your mission programme?!
