The future of space is poised for growth in areas like launch, data, and communications. Both private companies and governments aim to return to the moon, start space tourism, colonize Mars, and explore beyond our solar system. The satellite industry is evolving rapidly with new technologies enabling faster design cycles, advanced payloads, and better communications systems. Over the past five years, there has been significant innovation and private investment in this field. The challenge now lies in ensuring the technology being built is as effective and efficient as possible, in a way that makes the world cleaner, healthier and more productive.
For over 45 years, Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) has been at the forefront of contamination monitoring in aerospace and defense. Notably, a PMS particle counter was onboard the Pioneer Venus Project in 1978 – this long history highlights our dedication to advancing technology for aerospace and defense manufacturing.
Leveraging decades of expertise, PMS is now revolutionizing the development and supply of cutting-edge aerosol particle counters and monitoring systems, for space shuttles and satellite manufacturing processes, within cleanroom environments. These ultra clean production facilities prevent particles from earth being transported to, and potentially contaminating space.
Our PMS Pro series instruments – the Lasair Pro portable particle counters and Isoair Pro remote particle counters – are at the forefront of innovation, empowering our clients to achieve unparalleled efficiency in their manufacturing cleanrooms. We supplied more than 100 instruments to the aerospace industry in 2024.
These state-of-the-art instruments are seamlessly integrated with the FacilityPro environmental monitoring solution, which offers air sampling, comprehensive reporting, and robust data management capabilities. This system not only streamlines processes but equips our customers to be cleaner, healthier, and more productive by actively maintaining constant control and monitoring potential contamination within an industry that is expected to grow by 155% by 2035 (Source: Deloitte).
