The Indian space agency announced on Thursday that it had successfully completed tests to ensure that the Chandrayaan-3 — moon spacecraft — could withstand the harsh vibration and acoustic environment that it would face during launch.
The tests were carried out during the first week of March 2023 at the UR Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
These tests are an essential part of any spacecraft’s qualification and acceptance process.
These tests were especially difficult given that the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is made up of three modules: the Propulsion Module, the Lander Module, and the Rover Module.
ISRO stated that vibration and acoustic tests on the integrated spacecraft provided sufficient confidence in structural integrity and survivability in the launch environment.
