Experience That Scales with Your Payload
Oberg creates precision payload components for satellite systems, launch vehicles, and rideshare missions. From adapter rings to separation brackets and mounting platforms, our hardware plays a mission-critical role in connecting payloads to launch systems. These components and more are already in service today, manufactured to customer specifications, ensuring successful deployment and reliable performance in orbit.
Whether you’re developing a new payload architecture or scaling a proven design, Oberg bridges the gap between flight requirements and real-world manufacturability.
Payload Component Applications Include:
- Payload Adapter Plates and Interface Rings
- Satellite Mounting Panels and Baseplates
- Structural Payload Frames and Integration Hardware
- Payload Separation and Deployment System Components
- Rideshare Hardware and Secondary Payload Support Structures
Why Oberg Excels in Payload Component Manufacturing
- Skilled Workforce – Strengthened by Oberg’s rich culture of Pride, Precision and Professionalism and backed by our nationally recognized apprenticeship program, our team delivers the precision craftsmanship required today while building the pipeline of talent needed for tomorrow.
- DMG MORI DMC 210 Portal – Large-format 5-axis machining ideal for oversized payload adapter rings and structural frames. The Multi-Pallet Loading system allows for exceptional production time.
- Large-Format CMM Inspection – Full payload assemblies verified with documented inspection and qualification for launch approval.
- Grob 5-Axis Machining – Precision milling for payload mounting panels, lightweight frames, and thin-walled hardware. Also equipped with a Multi-Pallet Loading system which means more production, less downtime loading.
- Precision Grinding & Lapping – Achieving flatness and smoothness for payload bonding, sealing, and critical interfaces.
- EDM (Wire & Sinker) – Complex geometries, bolt patterns, and intricate features essential for payload separation systems.
- Material Expertise –Payload components manufactured in Aluminum, Titanium, Invar, A286, and 15-5 Stainless.
- Prototype Through Production –One-off qualification articles through scaled payload production runs.
- Surface Preparation & Finishing –Machined surfaces optimized for satellite bonding, coatings, and clean integration.
- Assembly & Alignment Verification –Bolt patterns, fastener locations, and separation points validated for mission readiness.
- Proven Repeatability –Payload hardware produced with sub-micron tolerances for consistency from pad to orbit.
Structural Confidence, From Pad to Orbit
Payload components aren’t just structural—they’re strategic. Every interface, every bolt pattern, and every machined surface directly impacts deployment reliability. Our experience ensures the confidence you need with disciplined manufacturing, aerospace-grade material expertise, and documented inspection protocols.
- Material flexibility: Aluminum, Titanium, Invar, 15-5 Stainless, A286
- Surface machining for satellite mounting and bonding prep
- Feature validation for bolt patterns, alignment, and separation points
- Documented inspection for launch approval or qualification
