Design and Analysis

Deployed model of the TESS spacecraft

Thorski Design has extensive expertise in all phases of spacecraft program development, from conceptual design to post-launch support. Years of analytical and hands-on experience provide us with the knowledge and skills to create innovative solutions to challenging design problems.

Just a few of the areas in which we excel are:

  • Mechanisms and deployables
  • Mechatronics and control systems
  • Flexible body modeling and analysys
  • Detailed design and drawing production
  • Subsystem and top assembly modeling and layouts
  • Dynamic and kinematic analyses

We have in-depth knowledge of design and analysis tools including Creo Parametric, Solidworks, Blender, and Fusion 360, as well as experience with development of custom analytical tools using Matlab, Mathcad, and other scripting environments.
