Space Programs

"AMPAC-ISP chose National Instruments for this data system upgrade since the company has a reputation for reliable hardware and continued customer support, and its products have been successfully used throughout the aerospace industry."

- Victoria Lowe - Ampac-ISP

Read the full case study

Space programs require extensive engineering and operation activities throughout the system life cycle of design, simulation, and verification and validation of space and ground segments. Electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) and spacecraft checkout equipment (SCOE) support the assembly, integration, and validation activities of spacecraft development. From model-in-the-loop simulation and testing to high-channel-count data capture systems, tightly integrated NI hardware and software solutions produce the information you need to complete successful missions.

Additional Case Studies


Integrating NI’s graphical system design approach with its modular hardware and software platforms simplifies system development from research and development systems to deployed mission systems to operations and maintenance support systems. This integrated start-to-finish solution decreases program costs while producing reliable, precise results.

The broad range of NI PXI and reconfigurable I/O hardware and real-time test and test management software products covers the spectrum from design verification and validation systems to high-channel-count acquisition systems to capture and manage the data necessary to prove system functionality.

High-Performance Mixed-Signal Automated Test System

PXI is the standard platform for automated test applications. With a Windows or real-time controller, chassis, and I/O specific to the device under test, a PXI system is the ideal solution. Select the appropriate chassis, controller, and modules for your application and view the PXI Advisor to generate recommendations for the necessary components and accessories to complete your system.

  • Customize your test system by choosing only the components you need
  • Save your own parts list and share it with colleagues
  • Contact an NI expert or request an on-site demo
