Ground test equipment (Optical Ground Support Equipment OGSE and Mechanical Ground Support Equipment MGSE) plays a crucial role in the qualification of satellite-borne instruments, which must provide optimal performance despite extreme operating conditions. Bertin Technologies fully designs and develops optical and mechanical test benches, from customer’ specifications to the assembly, integration, testing and validation (AITV) phases. This ground support equipment allows to qualify, test and validate the optical performances and the mechanical stability of instruments such as imagers, telescopes or radar sounders. Its subsidiary Bertin Winlight produces optical and optronic test and calibration benches for the alignment, control and qualification of space or military equipment, such as satellites, weapon systems, etc. In order to guarantee an optimal optical quality to these ground support equipment, Bertin Winlight’s teams use the most advanced interferometry techniques, or a molecular adhesion technology on low dilatation materials.
