- Additional information
- Virtual Shaker Testing (VST) is a novel methodology to simulate the physical vibration testing to prove satellites can withstand launch, reducing risks and cost of physical test and increasing hardware quality. Activity brought together world leaders in satellite testing (ESA Test Centre) and satellite manufacturing (Airbus), proving correlation between simulations and physical tests on £100+M value satellites (BepiColombo, ESA’s first mission to Mercury, launched 2018). ESA & industry have supported this new methodology through further funding. Work led to Keynote (Aglietti) on VST at ECSSMET 2016, and award of EPSRC UKRI Innovation Fellowship (EP/S001964/1) to first author Remedia.
