## Description

The Disruptive Innovation Centre for Space facility requires environmental testing and verification and validation to ensure that spacecraft, satellites and associated components can be validated for performance prior to launch and/or terrestrial use\. 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\.
