Testing rocket propulsion systems is one of the most complex and critical challenges in engineering.

COGITO-NG simplifies this complexity by providing a unified platform for real-time acquisition, control, and analysis for test preparation, real-time execution and post-test analysis. With COGITO-NG, you can:

  • Run complex firing tests with full control
  • Capture high-speed, high-precision data
  • Synchronize thousands of signals in real time
  • Validate performance faster and with confidence

Proven in Europe’s leading rocket test facilities
In operation since 1990 and continuously upgraded, COGITO-NG powers major Europe’s aerospace programs (Ariane 6, Vega, Themis, etc.), handling thousands of I/Os across fluid and electrical systems with deterministic performance.

Connect all your sensors, effortlessly
From temperature and vibration to flow, current, voltage, and strain measurements, COGITO-NG supports a broad range of industrial sensors, ensuring all your critical data is captured and synchronized and accessible in one place.
