Paragon is headquartered in a 16,000 square-foot facility in Tucson, Arizona, near the Tucson International Airport, and minutes from the University of Arizona.
Approximately 6,000 square feet are devoted to an easy-access highbay, plus laboratories, workshop, bonded storage, and a ~240 square-foot class 10,000 clean room. The remainder of the building is used for Mission Monitoring Room, engineering design, conference room and offices.
The highbay also houses Paragon’s ECLSS Human-rating Facility, a 180 cubic-foot altitude chamber, capable of simulating cabin air pressuresthroughout any flight profile. The chamber can test hardware in off-nominal scenarios that could not be performed in a flight vehicle.
The highbay, laboratory and workshop infrastructure contain standard prototyping tools and test equipment, including electrical diagnostic equipment. In addition, the labs house flow and material testing facilities with gas chromatographs, a temperature controlled chamber (-125°C to 150°C), bench-top vacuum chamber, microscopes, growth chambers, and standard instrumentation and equipment such as wet chemistry and environmental monitoring and control systems.
Our monitoring, control and analysis software include: Lab View®, ANSYS, SolidWorks™, COSMOSWorks™, COSMOSFloWorks™ and C&R Thermal Desktop, Sinda/Fluint and RadCad.
