Vibration measurements on the Soyouz transport platform
Socitec participated in the sizing and qualification of the trailer used to transport the Fregat stage of the Soyuz launcher operated at the Guiana Space Center. We used SYMOS calculations for the dynamic sizing of the trailer by calculating the QSL.
The Fregat payloads are integrated into a building several kilometers from the Soyuz launch pad. During transport, it was crucial not to exceed very low critical QSL levels. Socitec conducted vibration measurements on the trailer during the Fregat’s journey from the integration building to the launch pad.
