Why is vibration testing important?
During launch, the satellite, whether launched aboard an expendable rocket or on the U.S. space shuttle, is subjected to enormous vibrational stresses. As such, it is critical to ensure that the satellite is able to withstand rocket engine vibrations and the gravity multiplying effects of extreme acceleration experienced during a launch.
