Photograph Evidence Stand & Mosaic Analysis

Photographic evidence in the Space Products business is like gold.  So valuable in so many ways!

​

When United Launch Alliance needed to know, to see what was inside a unit that had already been built up, tested, shipped, and installed in a rocket ready to launch, there was no substitute for clear high-resolution images of the electronic circuit boards in each phase of buildup.  But many of our images were blurred, inconsistent, and it could be difficult to know which of many identical circuit boards a specific image referenced.

​

When we did find something, the question would arise, "But what about all the other boards you built?  Prove to me those don't have the same flaw."

​

The assignment was to build a robust system that could answer ULA's questions with confidence every time, and clear products for launch weeks or even months faster.
