Testing the SAC-B satellite

SAC-B Shake Test

The SAC-B satellite is mounted on the horizontal shake table at INPE-LIT in June 1995 for vibration testing. The purpose of this testing is to simulate the vibrations experienced during launch to verify that the satellite is well-built and will survive this harsh environment. The SAC-B satellite and CUBIC instrument passed the test with flying colors.
