NASA Improves Shock, Vibration Analysis

NASA reports that rockets vibrate, shake and flex intensely during ascent, and spacecraft with delicate instruments must survive those forces. Engineers in NASA's Launch Load Dynamics' Dynamic Environments Group work to predict how these stresses affect every spacecraft part before launch, and the agency says it has improved its shock and vibration analysis methods.
