How Starris Mitigates Risk for Space Flight

Written by Starris: Optimax Space Systems | Nov 14, 2024 11:49:31 PM

Risk mitigation is critical for all commercial space missions.

At Starris, we specialize in providing custom, modular camera systems designed to minimize the technical, schedule, and cost risks associated with integrated payload operations.

Understanding Risk in Space Missions

Every space mission faces three primary risks:

  1. Technical Risk – Will the system work as intended?
  2. Schedule Risk – Will the system be delivered on time?
  3. Cost Risk – Will the project stay within budget?

Our approach at Starris mitigates each of these risks by using pre-engineered, modular components and leveraging a robust supply chain to ensure reliability and efficiency.

Mitigating technical risk: Reliable, pre-engineered camera and sensor systems

Starris’s camera modules are pre-built and rigorously tested to ensure they meet stringent technical requirements. Our pre-engineered process minimizes technical risk by providing systems that are mission-ready and proven. Each component is designed for optimal performance in space conditions, making our modular camera systems both dependable and adaptable to various payload requirements.

 

Reducing schedule risk: Streamlined and predictable production

With pre-engineered modules, Starris reduces uncertainties and potential delays. Our camera systems integrate seamlessly due to careful planning and precise engineering, reducing schedule slip. The streamlined production schedule, coupled with our heritage in proven space flight and supply chain management from our parent company, Optimax, ensures our systems are ready for deployment in less than one year.

Managing Cost Risk: Predictable, Scalable Solutions

Cost is another critical factor in space missions. Starris’s modular approach provides clients with a clear understanding of project costs from the start. By designing camera systems with scalability in mind, we offer cost-effective solutions that meet budgetary goals. Our approach allows for predictable pricing, as we manufacture quality components in quantities that optimize cost.
