Aerospace Engineering Consulting & Services
Trusted dynamic-environments consulting for certifiable systems — reducing risk and increasing confidence from early design through qualification and on-orbit performance.
​
LaFontaine Engineering is an aerospace engineering consultancy delivering subject-matter expertise in launch-vehicle and spacecraft dynamic environments. We specialize in dynamic loads, shock, vibration, and acoustics, providing integrated support across data acquisition, analysis, and test execution. Our capabilities extend to mechanical and structural design, stress analysis, and technical engagement with governing agencies, including NASA Launch Services Program and Commercial Crew Program, Space Force, Range Safety and the FAA, enabling defensible solutions that support certification, risk reduction, and mission success.
Deliver high fidelity launch and flight dynamic environments to inform design trades and mitigate risk.
Ensure test plans reflect true loads, protect hardware, and produce defensible correlation to analytical models.
Verify spacecraft internal acoustic environments meet NASA safety, health, and comfort criteria.
Predict and mitigate micro-vibration effects on pointing performance using correlated models and data-driven forcing functions.
​Optimize structures, isolation systems, and acoustic treatments to reduce vibration and noise before hardware reaches test.
Build, correlate, and analyze models to provide strength, stress, and fatigue assessments that support certification.
