ALTER is currently providing support to all payload members during the selection, procurement, and testing of technologies that will be utilized in the ARIEL payload under a contract with ESA. Our current ARIEL participation was recently extended, this time under direct contract with the ARIEL Prime Contractor to carry out Product Assurance tasks in 3 disciplines: Components (EEE), QA and Materials and Processes for a wide selection of platform equipment manufacturers.
