Satellite components at constellation scale.
Bus structures, panels, RF housings, optical mounts, propulsion fittings and deployment hardware for satellite and launch programs. We source through a vetted network of AS9100D compliant shops that build flight hardware, with material and process certs shipped with every order. One project manager owns your build from the first engineering unit to repeat production lots.
How we review it
Your project manager and a technical lead review every print within 24 hours. We specify inspection up front, confirm material and finish selection for vacuum service, and keep the same contact and inspection plan from unit one to unit forty.

Before it’s built
Space parts get judged at your customer’s source inspection, so we plan for it at quote. We check low-outgassing material and finish selection, thin-wall aluminum that will move after machining, and tolerances better held at assembly than on the detail part.
Space + satellite questions
Yes. AS9102-format FAI is available, and material and process certs ship with every order. We specify the inspection plan up front so it’s priced and scheduled from the start.
Yes. The same project manager and inspection plan carry your build from the first engineering unit to repeat production lots, so unit forty is built and inspected the same way as unit one.
We confirm material and finish selection for vacuum service during drawing review, including polymers like PEEK, Ultem and Vespel. List any outgassing or cleanliness requirements with your RFQ.
No. Precision Expedited is ITAR registered, and controlled work goes only to vetted, ITAR-registered domestic shops. Technical data is handled under NIST 800-171 compliant controls.
±0.001″ is routine on precision machined parts. For thin-wall aluminum, we may recommend holding some tolerances at assembly rather than on the detail part, and we’ll flag that before quoting.
