EMC & EMI
Testing. (Soon)

Verify that your hardware neither generates nor is susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Radiated and conducted emissions, immunity across relevant bands.

EMC / EMI capability is part of the 2026 CubeSat capability suite. Test plans being scoped now — early customer alignment is welcome.

Four EMC modes. One integration environment.

Radiated emissions, conducted emissions, radiated susceptibility, and conducted susceptibility scope per mission and integration environment.

Mode 01

Radiated Emissions (RE)

Electromagnetic energy radiated by your hardware across the relevant frequency band. Verifies your unit does not interfere with neighbouring satellites or launch vehicle systems.

Mode 02

Conducted Emissions (CE)

Electromagnetic energy conducted onto power and signal lines. Validates compatibility with launch provider and integration interfaces.

Mode 03

Radiated Susceptibility (RS)

Immunity verification under radiated electromagnetic fields. Confirms your hardware operates correctly when exposed to representative orbital RF environments.

Mode 04

Conducted Susceptibility (CS)

Immunity verification under conducted disturbances on power and signal lines. Validates robustness against transients and switching events.

Mode 05

ESD Verification

Electrostatic discharge testing for surface-charging environments. Relevant for LEO and GEO operating regimes.

Combined EMC campaign

Most missions require RE + CE + RS + CS as a single coordinated campaign. We schedule and document as one report.

Scoped to mission requirements.

Frequency bands, levels, and immunity criteria are defined per the integration environment your hardware will see.

10 kHz – 18 GHz (planned)
Frequency range (CE)
30 Hz – 100 MHz

2026 — early alignment

Why early scoping matters.

EMC test plans are highly mission-dependent. The integration environment  launch vehicle, neighbouring satellites, ground operations  drives the levels and the bands you need to test against.

For 2026 campaigns we’re scoping plans now. Talking to us before your hardware design is frozen lets us flag EMC pitfalls before they cost a redesign.

We’ll confirm the applicable scope (ECSS-E-ST-20-07 vs. MIL-STD-461 vs. mission-specific) once we understand your platform.

Tested to mission-specific scope.

Applicable scope is confirmed in the test plan — directional standards below.

ECSS-E-ST-20-07

Electromagnetic Compatibility

European space standard for EMC requirements and verification methods. Default reference for European missions and launch providers.

MIL-STD-461

EMI / EMC Requirements

U.S. military standard for electromagnetic interference characteristics of subsystems and equipment. Common for dual-use and defence payloads.

EMC / EMI capability is part of the 2026 CubeSat suite — planned, not yet operational. Test plans are being scoped now.

Early customer alignment is welcome and recommended — talking to us before your hardware design freezes lets us flag EMC pitfalls before they cost a redesign.

Five modes: Radiated Emissions (RE)Conducted Emissions (CE)Radiated Susceptibility (RS)Conducted Susceptibility (CS), and ESD verification.

Most missions require RE + CE + RS + CS as a single coordinated campaign — we schedule and document as one report.

Radiated emissions: 10 kHz – 18 GHz (planned).

Conducted emissions: 30 Hz – 100 MHz.

Susceptibility levels are scoped per mission profile and integration environment. Final scope is confirmed in the test plan once we understand your platform.

ECSS-E-ST-20-07 — European space EMC standard. Default reference for European missions and launch providers.

MIL-STD-461 — U.S. military EMI/EMC requirements. Common for dual-use and defence payloads.

Applicable scope is confirmed in the test plan.

EMC test plans are highly mission-dependent. The integration environment — launch vehicle, neighbouring satellites, ground operations — drives the levels and the bands you need to test against.

A late EMC discovery on a CubeSat usually means a board respin. Early scoping flags it before silicon is committed.

Yes — EMC sits inside qualification campaigns alongside thermal and vibration testing. Once EMC is operational in 2026, full qualification campaigns can run as one coordinated sequence with a single test report.

EMC is not operational yet — planned for 2026. No slots can be booked today. What we offer now is early scoping: align your EMC test plan with us before your hardware design freezes.

For more information or to start a scoping conversation, contact anfrage@enveon.de or call +49 89 356479-38. We’ll flag EMC pitfalls early — and put you first in line when the chamber goes live.
