Don’t Miss Our Presentation:
Coupled Multi-Actuator Sine Testing for Space Flight Hardware Applications
Presented by:
Raman Sridharan, Senior Product Manager, Data Physics
Gain insights into the recent testing of Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser space plane, including the many engineering challenges that were overcome by leveraging the years of experience acquired during prior testing for the James Webb Space Telescope and Orion programs.
Learn how, despite the growing complexities associated with advanced MIMO testing – the versatility of the vibration controller and test system enables testing of this kind to continually evolve.
The presentation also highlights the collaborative efforts of NVT Group members Data Physics and Team Corporation in engineering and controlling the MVF (Mechanical Vibration Facility) at NASA Armstrong Test Facility – world’s largest and most powerful spacecraft shaker system.
