LIDAX aims to provide integrated solutions to our clients from the Space Sector- Thus, we assume the complete processes of design, development, and manufacturing of the tools required for testing activities on flight models.
It is in this context that we have developed “turn-key” Mechanical Ground Support Equipment and also Optical Ground Support Equipment following the Space Standards.
Listed below are some MGSE and OGSE projects:
MGSE
