Critical failures on our watch

QVALITAS Space is an independent quality engineering consultancy exclusively serving the European space sector. We embed with your programme to deliver rigorous, ECSS-compliant quality management across every phase — from concept through decommissioning.

As owner and founder, I have been delivering hands-on quality authority experience since 2020 across LEO constellations, scientific missions, and deep space exploration. Our philosophy is simple: defects found in orbit cannot be fixed. We find them first.
