Engineering & Test Services

Honeybee Robotics offers a complete range of engineering, consulting, and test services, including:

• Systems engineering and trade studies. Specialized knowledge in diverse fields coupled with rock-solid systems engineering expertise makes Honeybee ideally suited for early-stage design studies. Specific tasks often include application analysis, requirements definition, technology survey, preliminary design, and cost estimation.
• Environmental testing. When engineering dynamic, complex mechanical processes on other planets and moons, testing in a relevant environment is critical. Honeybee's one-of-a-kind thermal-vacuum facilities, including our 11-foot Mars chamber, enable us to begin risk mitigation testing early in the development process. Our test facilities are also available for use by external parties in certain situations.
• Test facility design and build. Honeybee's decades of high-reliability system development experience have made us experts at designing and building specialized testbeds for electromechanical systems. From environmental simulation to diagnostic instrumentation and DAQ to subsystem fixturing to motion control and automation, we can provide enabling test and demonstration infrastructure, delivered to meet aggressive schedules.
• Design validation and flight qualification. If you're looking to take a promising technology to flight, we can help. Our seasoned team is experienced in risk analysis and in the design, execution and documentation of flight V&V test programs.
