iNARTE® CubeSat Developer ESD Certified Training™

Vermillion’s innovative presentations for the 2024 Cal Poly CubeSat Developer Workshop and Auburn University SmallSat Program have evolved into a short course for ESD Compliance of space-bound materials. Learn how to reduce the risk of field induced model discharges (FIM) during deployment that kills ESD sensitive devices in SmallSats.

The NEW 4--hour iNARTE® course is intended for NASA, DoD, US Military Academies and the SmallSat sector to learn how to mitigate damage or failure of CubeSats during launch and deployment by incorporating ESD requirements for extreme conditions and low RH of low earth orbit (LEO) for CubeSat builds..

ESD/ESA electrostatic attraction and CubeSat Integrity, Equipment Standards, Reliability, Low RH ESD Testing Methods and correct usage of ESD Instrumentation and Case Studies are presented. Current ESD Assessment Practices are reviewed for NASA-STD-8739,6B, relevant MIL.STD. and ANSI/ESD Standards to ensure more success after deployment by NASA and DoD in collaboration with SBIR/STTR CubeSat awardees.

iNARTE® Beyond OSHA: 2-Day Advanced Safety Training to Mitigate ESD Risk for Material Handling, Storage & Transport of Munitions and Energetics™

The 2-day comprehensive technology-driven, hands-on safety training course is intended for US Army and Navy plus JMC operated Government Owned, Contractor Operated (GOCO) facilities. For personnel safety, relevant Industry practices, some OSHA and DoD Safety Requirements are disruptively challenged with technology solutions for the workforce and for national security.

The NEW iNARTE® Army/Navy Certified Course Training is a much needed training update beyond OSHA online courses for GOCO to safely package, handle, store and transport munitions. PPE usage in potentially explosive conditions is not stated except for recently required employer-provided correct garment sizes by OSHA.

Engineers, Safety and Logistics Specialists that supervise, package, handle, store and transport munitions or energetics will learn how to lower risk of ignition in volatile environments, slow to adopt by government for personnel safety.

Course content includes risk mitigation solutions for ESD materials, packaging, PPE risks, handling practices, storage and transport of munitions for personnel safety beyond questionable legacy Government requirements. Successful course completion includes crucial updating of select Industry and Government Standards for personnel safety.
