Q STATION NASA TESTING PROGRAM
An Easier & Faster Path to Testing Your Space Technology
Q Station has a Space Act Umbrella Agreement with NASA's White Sands Test Facility, which allows us to provide easier and faster access for companies interested in testing their technology at the facility.
Work with us to use our agreement instead of going through the process of getting
their own testing agreement with NASA, and save yourself valuable time.Domestic
companies that apply for the Q Station program could be approved for testing in just
a few weeks, as opposed to months. International companies that often have had to
wait several months to over a year could see that time cut to as little as three months.
The program will allow companies to tap into the NASA White Sands Testing Facility’s extensive expertise. Established in 1963 to test propulsion systems for the Apollo spacecraft, the Facility has supported every U.S. human space flight from Apollo to the Space Shuttle Program and the International Space Station.
Capabilities included in the program include:
-
Propulsion Testing & Evaluation
