Several tasks should be performed for all components of space payloads on sounding rockets or satellites in vibration tests:
- Sine vibration
- Random vibration
- Shock (optional)
The vibration testing system (F-06000BM) includes the following equipments:
- Vibration generator
- Drive power supply
- Pre-charge amplifier
- Vibration control
- Remote cooling blower
The vibration testing system should be capable to integrate with Space Plasma Simulation Chamber and thermal cycling facility at SPL.
