Abstract:
Cassini: At the beginning of Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations (ATLO), vibration testing of the massive Cassini spacecraft was performed using facility test equipment that was barely up to the task. Powering an aged power amplifier for a shaker resulted in multiple failures of the test equipment, including board fires. Proactively perform periodic test facility maintenance and upgrade, and validate the current performance of the environmental test facility prior to use.
