Vibration testing is a key requirement to simulate launch conditions and essential for satellites to both identify problems and additionally determine operational conditions. The Vibration Testing System (hereafter VTS) must be able to accommodate small spacecraft both with vertical shaker, and horizontal slip table capable of testing using sinusoidal, random and transient excitation. The VTS will need to be air isolated and should not require an isolation slab for installation, should be air cooled and be capable of remote management - software should be specific to the system and either tuned or designed for accelerometers utilised. ## CPV classification Miscellaneous evaluation or testing instruments Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/182c134e-2fcc-4a48-9b05-e945ca4959ce) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
