Industry leaders and their planetary exploration missions continue to revolutionize our understanding of the origin and history of the Solar System. These missions continue to explore from the innermost planet, Mercury, to the outer reaches of the Solar System, where Pluto orbits. We have orbited and traversed the surface of Mars, finding evidence of liquid water and ancient habitable environments. Closer to home, many of these industry leading companies continue to expand what is possible with technology to detect, track, catalog, and characterize near-Earth objects (NEOs), which may pose hazards to Earth or provide destinations and resources for future exploration, and to investigate our exoplanet counterparts through comparative planetology.
To study the atmospheres of other planets and their moons, earthbound astronomers use a set of techniques called spectroscopy. Light is collected by a telescope and split into its component wavelengths, creating a spectrum. Patterns in the spectrum reveal detailed information about the composition, temperature, and motions of atmospheres millions to billions of miles away.
This is where Abbess comes in with our extensive knowledge and experience working side by side these industry leaders we have developed and created ground breaking systems that help understand and recreate these hostile planetary environments.

Systems we manufacture:
At Abbess, we lead the way in advanced Regolith Thermal Vacuum Systems, delivering cutting-edge test environments that replicate the extreme conditions of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Our systems are expertly engineered to evaluate how space hardware such as landers, rovers, and instruments performs when exposed to the harsh realities of vacuum, extreme temperatures, and planetary regolith.
At Abbess, our Thermal Gas Mixture Systems set the standard for simulating diverse planetary environments with precision and reliability. These advanced systems are designed to recreate the unique atmospheric compositions and temperature conditions found on other planets, enabling accurate testing of spacecraft components, instruments, and materials. Whether replicating the thin CO₂-rich air of Mars or the dense, sulfuric atmosphere of Venus, Abbess delivers the tools engineers need to ensure mission success in the most challenging extraterrestrial conditions.

At Abbess Instruments, we specialize in replicating the harsh, dusty, and dynamic environments of other planetary bodies through our advanced regolith testing solutions. Regolith—the loose, fragmented material covering solid rock on the Moon, Mars, asteroids, and other celestial bodies—poses unique challenges for space exploration. Its abrasive texture, insulating properties, and tendency to cling to surfaces can significantly impact the performance and longevity of spacecraft and instruments. Our Regolith Thermal Vacuum Systems are engineered to accurately simulate these conditions, enabling researchers and engineers to test, validate, and refine their designs under true-to-life extraterrestrial environments. Whether you’re preparing for a lunar mission or a Martian landing, Abbess provides the reliable testing capabilities needed for confident mission development.
