Satellite integration services and launch campaign operations

ALS takes a satellite from early requirements through separation on orbit: the systems engineering, the mechanical and electrical ICD-compliant hardware, the analysis that proves it successfully launches, and the campaign that flies it. More than 10 missions, a 100% mission success rate, and a 100% on-time rate.

Launch Integration Services

ALS performs every service needed to make your satellite ready for launch. Systems engineering, analysis, mechanical adapters, electrical harnesses, flight computers and more are within our scope. ALS responsive engineering has proven to retire risks early, making for smooth, controlled satellite integration efforts.

ALS runs the launch campaign from end to end. We receive satellites, get them onto the stack, and support all operations until (and after) launch. We ensure that potential failures are discovered early, leading to mission success. That work supports more than 10 successful space missions, including one mission going from Authorization To Proceed to satellite delivery in less than 3 months.

ALS has a 100% mission success rate, and a 100% on-time rate, over more than 10 space missions.
