Satellite Package Transport Monitoring with RE-846U

Monitoring Satellite Package Transport Conditions in Real Time

Project Name: On-line State Monitoring of Satellite Package Transportation

Transporting a satellite from the manufacturing facility to the launch site is a delicate and high-stakes operation. The slightest deviation in temperature, vibration, or humidity can have irreversible consequences on the satellite’s components and calibration.

To ensure the satellite’s safe and stable transport across railway, roadway, and during hoisting operations, Dynatronic supported a full-scale on-line state monitoring solution using our rugged RE-846U Data Acquisition Analyzer.

Throughout the transportation process, we monitored and recorded key physical variables inside the satellite’s protective packaging, including:

• Ambient temperature

• Relative humidity

• Mechanical vibrations and shock events

The RE-846U was chosen specifically for its robust build and environmental resilience. Its features include:

• High vibration resistance – Ideal for railway and road logistics

• Dust and moisture resistance – Critical for outdoor and transitional environments

• Long-term, uninterrupted operation – Withstand multi-day transport conditions

• Compact, rugged design – Easily installed directly inside the packaging container

• Off-line sampling and data storage – For complete transport cycle data integrity

By carefully embedding the RE-846U device into the satellite’s packaging box, engineers were able to continuously monitor and analyze real-time environmental and mechanical conditions all throughout the transportation process, without interfering with the satellite’s precise positioning or compromising its protective setup.

Once the transport was fully completed, the recorded data was carefully retrieved and thoroughly analyzed to verify that all conditions remained consistently within acceptable parameters throughout the journey. This process not only helps validate the safe delivery of the items but also serves as an essential record for quality assurance purposes, insurance claims, and regulatory compliance requirements.

With Dynatronic’s advanced solutions, mission-critical equipment is transported safely and securely—arriving on time and fully prepared for a successful launch.
