2、ise. It is imperative on missions with fixed launch windows that acoustic problems on assemblies not be deferred to system level tests.Abstract: Preferred Practice for Design however, the actual acoustic wave angle of incidence distribution is seldom known. In practice, employing a random-incidence
3、acoustic test envelops the effects of the flight environment.Acoustic noise is usually the most severe dynamic environment for a launch vehicle or payload in the mid to high frequency range ( 50 to 2000 Hz). The acoustic pressure fluctuations will induce severe vibrations in relatively large lightwe
4、ight structures, such as solar panels and reflectors, potentially causing failures of the structure or attached electrical components. These structures should be acoustically tested at the assembly level to avoid potential cost and schedule impacts of a failure during system level testing. The full

The acoustic test also qualifies spacecraft elements, such as blankets, cable harnesses, plumbing lines, and
