Facility
Andover has facilities for Optical Systems Development, Infrared Imaging, Electrochemistry, Thermal Technologies, Diagnostic and Sensor Development, Chemical Reactor and Environmental Simulation, Chemical Science, Materials Science, and Laser Technology. There’s also a Gas Turbine Combustor, a Wind Tunnel, and a Shock Tube.
Currently, an additional three facilities are available to test and qualify electronics packages and payloads for space missions. They are TVC-1, a thermal vacuum environmental test chamber for payload testing in a high vacuum environment; TC-1, a thermal environmental chamber for developmental testing of electronic and mechanical packages; and FAST-1, a LEO AO simulation chamber for accelerated materials degradation studies on aircraft surfaces.
PSI also maintains optical calibration facilities with multiple UV, visible, and IR sources for radiometric calibration of optical sensors.
Andover’s computation capabilities is a broad network of personal computers connected to file, print, web, and ftp servers, all attached to a high-speed T-1 Internet connection. Together, these systems provide a flexible computational environment for data acquisition, data reduction, analysis and modeling. Access to government computers with more advanced processing capabilities is available.
