"Sensor Solutions for Space Missions: Real-World Challenges, Programs, and Custom Innovation"

Watch Live on Wednesday, November 05, 2025 at 2pm ET

What does it take to engineer reliable sensor solutions for some of the world’s most demanding space missions?

In this technical webinar, FUTEK’s Technical Director, Richard Walker, will take you behind the scenes of three aerospace programs where custom sensor design played a mission-critical role. Drawing from hands-on experience supporting projects such as lunar landers, orbital platforms, and robotic arms, Richard will detail how his team navigated complex requirements in force/torque measurement, fault detection, and system survivability under extreme conditions. He’ll be joined by a member of the Business Development team, Ehsan Mokhberi, who will outline FUTEK’s process for initiating and executing custom sensor programs, including compliance with NASA and private-sector aerospace requirements.

Whether you're designing sensors for space, defense, or terrestrial applications, this session offers a rare window into the real-world problem solving, systems engineering, and regulatory navigation required to build high-performance sensing solutions that operate reliably—when failure is not an option.

 

In this webinar you will:

• Understand the key design constraints in aerospace sensing, including thermal drift, vibration, and radiation, and how they influence engineering tradeoffs.
• Analyze real-world applications of FUTEK's sensor technology in space programs, including contributions to NASA missions.
• Gain key insights into regulatory frameworks guidelines relevant to sensor design, including NASA and private sector protocols.
• Understand the end-to-end process of developing custom sensors for specialized aerospace applications, from concept and feasibility through prototyping, validation, and launch readiness.
• Gain a systems-level perspective on sensor integration, including signal conditioning, mounting, and hardware constraints, and how engineering teams navigate these challenges.
