Ground test acoustic simulation of liftoff and transonic vibration applied to Ranger flight vibration data
The dynamic environment of the Ranger spacecraft (I through IX)during the launch portion of flight is defined in this Report. Flight data from each of nine spacecraft launches have been reviewed and are included. The environments receiving emphasis herein include liftoff acoustics, liftoff and transonic vibration, and the transient vibrations of the various pyrotechnic and staging events in the launch sequence. The systems for data acquisition and analysis are briefly described. In addition, post-flight comparison of flight data and ground test specification levels is made, and the dynamic test program is briefly discussed.
