Satellite Vibration Qualification Testing
High‑channel count data acquisition and control for satellite qualification, including:
- Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) analysis
- Random and sine vibration control
- Resonance dwell testing
- Live/scope mode and real‑time monitoring with fault detection
Advanced Safety System (“Soft Shutdown”)
Developed to protect flight hardware during shaker tests—including missions like the James Webb Space Telescope—by monitoring accelerometers, controller health, and facility power to ramp down safely during anomalies or power.
High‑Channel Vibration Control & Signal Processing
SignalCalc 900 software and Abacus hardware support thousands of measurement channels with ultra-low phase error (~0.025°) for precision and repeatability.

One-of-a-Kind Test Systems for NASA’s Space Environments Complex
Located in Sandusky, Ohio at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility, the Space Environments Complex (SEC) houses the largest and most powerful space environment simulation facilities in the world. This includes the largest space simulation vacuum chamber, most powerful spacecraft Reverberant Acoustic Test Facility (RATF), and the world’s highest capacity and most powerful spacecraft shaker system – the Mechanical Vibration Facility (MVF).
Designed and implemented the vibration test system at NASA Armstrong that enabled multi-shaker 6‑DoF testing of NASA’s Orion-Artemis and the Sierra Space Dream Chaser space plane:
• Minimization of off-axis motion for tall CG spacecraft via Data Physics advanced MIMO control.
• Coordination of four horizontal and sixteen vertical shakers.
