Vibration Testing

Vibration testing is used to simulate the launch ambiances to the unit under test. This ensures that the rockets payload can survive the launch and reach orbit without its functioning being impaired. IRF Kiruna operates in close collaboration with the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) and Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in this field.

The shaker used at IRF is a Sentek Dynamics M4040A-PA140 System. It provides sine, random or shock testing from 5 to 2200Hz for units up to 250kg (depending on levels). This equipment requires full time surveillance from an engineer during testing . Its sine peak force is 39.20kN.
