Shake & Bake: How Spacecraft Are Tested to Handle the Harsh Environment of Space
Have you ever wondered how spacecraft are designed to handle the punishing conditions of launch and the extreme variations of space?
From rocket vibrations, to the temperatures and pressures of space and other planets, to the solar illumination of the Sun, the Environmental Test Lab (ETL) at JPL is responsible for simulating these conditions and verifying, through a series of rigorous tests, that spacecraft will be able to fulfill their missions unharmed.
Join us for a live chat with two ETL experts who will teach us more about the equipment, the people behind environmental testing, and how they literally “shake and bake” spacecraft.
Speakers:
Brad Kinter, Group Supervisor, Environmental Thermal Testing, NASA JPL
Pete Landry, Systems Integration and Test Engineer, Environmental Dynamics Test & Instrumentation Group, NASA JPL
