Products & Capabilities

Space-Grade Magnetic Components

Precision-wound inductors engineered for stable performance across harsh thermal cycling, vacuum, and radiation constraints. Ideal for mission-critical power and signal conditioning.

Space-Qualified Transformers

Transformers optimized for radiation-aware designs, thermal extremes, and strict size-weight-power (SWaP) targets. They support efficient, compact spacecraft power architectures.

Power Magnetics for Spacecraft Systems

Custom magnetics for DC-DC conversion, regulation, and filtering. Designed to improve efficiency, manage EMI, and protect sensitive avionics across your bus.

Low-Outgassing Materials

Built with material selections and processes that minimize outgassing. They help safeguard optics, sensors, and payload surfaces in vacuum environments.

Permanent Magnets for Space

Allstar Magnetics also supplies precision permanent magnet solutions for space applications. Our expertise spans material selection, performance optimization, and application-specific assembly, backed by the same engineering partnership and documentation discipline we bring to wound magnetics.

Satellite Bus Systems

Satellite Bus Support: Designed to Integrate, Built to Scale

Magnet Bus SystemsA satellite bus is the platform that powers, controls, communicates, and protects your mission. Our magnetics are built to fit cleanly into that architecture, supporting repeatable performance from first article to flight builds and beyond.

Allstar Magnetics supports satellite bus designers with precision-engineered magnetic solutions that are:

  • Radiation-tolerant for harsh orbital environments
  • Thermally stable across extreme temperature ranges
  • Electrically efficient for high power density and low losses
  • Highly reliable for long mission lifetimes

Whether you are developing a one-off demonstrator or standardizing a high-volume constellation bus, we help you qualify and replicate magnetic designs across programs and production lots.

Subsystems We Support

Subsystem Magnetic Component Role
Electrical Power System (EPS) DC-DC conversion, regulation, filtering, isolation
Attitude Determination & Control (ADCS) Sensing, torque rod assemblies, permanent magnet components
Command & Data Handling (CDH) EMI filtering, signal conditioning
Communications Filtering, isolation, power conditioning
Propulsion (where applicable) Power magnetics for electric propulsion systems

Engineering Collaboration

Fast Engineering Collaboration (Prototype to Production)

Space programs move on tight schedules. We work directly with your engineering team to shorten iteration cycles and reduce integration risk:

  • Co-design for first-time-right integration (electrical, mechanical, thermal)
  • Optimize SWaP without sacrificing margin in constrained bus architectures
  • Support qualification and documentation with test approach, models, and build records aligned to aerospace expectations

Whether you are building a single high-value spacecraft or scaling a constellation, Allstar Magnetics helps you standardize dependable magnetic designs, so your team can move faster with fewer surprises at integration and test.
