Stratolaunch Airplane Project
Quartus has been involved in the Stratolaunch project - the largest wingspan aircraft to ever fly at 385ft. - since its infancy, and continues to help navigate engineering challenges and provide exceptional value.
Windshake & Nonlinear Seismic Analysis
Quartus conducted nonlinear seismic and windshake analysis for the Giant Magellan Telescope to assess structural behavior under extreme loads. High-fidelity simulation revealed critical risks and informed design decisions.
Airborne LiDAR System Design Project
Quartus provided Harris with a turnkey solution to their problem in the form of a very precise, highly engineered Lidar system that incorporated cutting edge aerospace design, including novel (and subsequently patented) scanner technology.
Orion E-STA Dynamic Correlation Project
Quartus performed an independent FE model correlation of the E-STA for NASA’s Engineering and Safety Center (NESC).
SkySat Structural Analysis Project
Quartus provided structural analysis support for the SkySat program for several years, from pre-PDR concept development thru qualification and acceptance testing.
NASA STOP Analysis Project
A Structural, Thermal, and Optical Performance (STOP) analysis was needed to assess the robustness of Arcstone instruments in a specific thermal setting and to highlight areas for possible design improvement.
Flight Control Chassis Project
Honeywell needs to certify a Flight Control Chassis for a new aircraft environment.
Thermal Orbiter Camera Project
Quartus was contracted by Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) to perform thermal analysis for the NASA Lunar Orbiter Cameras (LROC).
Thermal Imaging Instruments Project
Quartus was contracted by Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) to perform thermal analysis of two imaging instrument for the MSL mission: MAHLI and MastCam.
Nonlinear Transient Seismic Analysis
A nonlinear transient survival level seismic analysis was performed on the Magellan Telescopes using Abaqus/Standard 6.14.
