Homework 3
Due date: October 25, 2017 at 6:25 pm
1) Provide the Type 2 (11 items) of testing programs (p. 155-156) for a satellite (40 pts).
2) During environmental qualification, satellites undergo acoustic testing. Describe what it is and how it works (60 pts).
Note: There is a vast amount of information from NASA on this subject. The objective is (a) to
identify the relevant Type 2 tests in a specific domain (in this case space flight) and (b) learn
as much as you can about a certain (very interesting) test.
Cut-n-paste from reports, websites, etc is unacceptable. If you happen to use any sources, please cite them properly in IEEE format. I expect just a listing and understanding of what each test is and its application to satellite testing (for item #1) and full comprehension of the acoustic tests (for item #2).
