SuperCam Body Unit Flight Model Vibration Test Report (Rev.A)
This report describes the vibration tests that were applied to the SuperCam Body Unit (SCBU) Flight Model (FM) at Protoflight levels. These tests were performed November 28 and 29, 2018, at the Los Alamos National Laboratory ISR-5 Shock and Vibration Environmental Test Facility, at TA-3, Building 502 Room E102. The test environments shown below were obtained from the SuperCam FM test plan, which is the overarching document for all testing. The vibration results from all testing are shown below. An anomaly was identified during the FM functional testing at the conclusion of the X-Axis. It was decided to re-test at -6 dB to determine if the anomaly progressed or remained the same. Functional testing did not show any changes after the -6 dB random vibration. It was then decided to re-test at -3 dB. Once again functional testing after the -3 dB vibration did not show any changes. Low-level random vibration signature surveys were performed before and after the -6 dB and -3 dB retests. This test series met the vibration requirements to qualify the SuperCam Body Unit FM for flight without any significant anomalies.
