Space-ready optics specialists – Resolve Optics – reports that the company’s vibration test center has been used by Sen Corporation Limited to conduct sine sweeps and random vibration testing on one of their satellite optical payloads.
Design phase vibration and shock testing of optical systems to be deployed in space is critical to ensure they survive launch and have a long operating life. Using their fully calibrated equipment – Resolve Optics vibration and shock testing consisted of a low-level sine sweep, followed by a random vibration test, and finished with another low-level sine sweep. The three tests were conducted in the X, Y and Z axis.
The output data provided to Sen was in the format of a run status CVS file for each test that enabled the sine test results to be overlayed so that any changes caused by the vibration / shock testing could easily be identified.
