Qualification and acceptance testing is critical in the satellite business to ensure that highly sensitive components can withstand the thunderous acoustics and jarring vibrations of vehicle launch.
Engineers focus on the thousands of individual parts and subsystems that absolutely must remain intact, connected and fully operational since failure of any one of these parts can jeopardize an entire mission.

LMS delivers a complete solution for the verification of the mechanical design for qualification and acceptance testing on spacecrafts, satellites, launchers and system prototypes. The LMS solution is designed for parallel acquisition and online reduction of vibration channels during random or sine closed-loop vibration control testing, in reverberant rooms, or for high frequency transient capture in deployment testing. Post test data analysis includes correlation and updating of FE models.

In the space industry where performance, reliability and compatibility of digital systems are critical, LMS is seen as the de facto standard for the verification of the mechanical design thanks to the proven capabilities of LMS solutions and technology. LMS references include Thales Alenia, ESA-ESTEC, Intespace, Astrium among many others.
