1 APITech Space Brochure The APITech Difference Whether your mission requires a standard single function component, a custom multi-function assembly, or a build-to-print/testing supplier, APITech is poised to be your ideal space partner. With four facilities offering specialized capabilities and engineering support, APITech is unique in its ability to offer customers a flexible, responsive approach driven by proven technology. Engineer Expertise The APITech engineering team offers a strong heritage in designing high-reliability solutions for space payloads in a wide range of deep space, scientific, and commercial programs. We utilize all of the popular and accepted simulation and design tools, as well as several proprietary programs. In addition, as a vertically integrated manufacturer, we have in-house machining centers for quick-turn prototyping. Certifications APITech employs all of the quality systems and processes essential to being a qualified supplier for Hi-Rel space platforms. We have two facilities certified to MIL-PRF-38534 Class K out of fewer than 20 in the world, as well as facilities certified to a variety of other quality standards, including ISO9001. These space centers of excellence allow us to assign specific projects to the individual facility with the required certifications and specializations. Testing Our facilities offer a wide range of in-house mechanical and environmental screening and auto-electrical testing for element evaluation as well as completed product qualification. APITech has an independently managed, ISO 17025 accredited test facility providing full environmental testing against IECQ, MIL-STD-883, and MIL-STD-202 test methods. These test capabilities are an integral part of our internal process are also available for screening and qualification testing of customer- supplied designs and piece work.
