RAL Space 2025 Vibration Test Systems

The UK's National Satellite Test Facility will build on and expand the capabilities of the existing RAL Space R100 facility to establish facilities to cover the spectrum of satellites from nanosats / cubesats through to large scale spacecraft and the simultaneous testing of constellations of small satellites. It includes a comprehensive suite of payload and satellite level environmental, physical properties and calibration test facilities – aimed directly at industry’s needs, including the necessary specialist accommodation and equipment. Large-scale testing capabilities in the National Satellite Test Facility (NSTF) Dynamics Lab Data Physics and Team Corporation, both members of The NVT Group, have partnered to design and build the state-of-the-art vibration facility – capable of testing satellites up to 7 tons using two Data Physics LE-5022 water-cooled electro-dynamic shakers. To realistically simulate the mechanical loads experienced during a rocket launch, one shaker will operate in the vertical plane (Z axis), while the other will operate horizontally (X and Y axes). Each shaker is capable of developing 222 kN (50,000 lbs. force) of thrust. A Data Physics 900 Series vibration controller is employed to orchestrate the sometimes extreme vibration forces – while sensitive satellite components will be protected by the controller’s unique Safe Shutdown feature. RAL Space is the UK's national space laboratory, advancing our understanding of space and our environment for the benefit of all. They carry out world-class science, research and technology development with significant involvement in over 210 instruments on missions to date. As the UK's national space laboratory, RAL Space occupies a unique and independent position between industry, academia and government. The facilities are open to everyone on a commercial basis, whether based in the UK or internationally.
