In conventional vibration testing of space hardware, the acceleration input to the base of a test article is controlled to specifications that are typically derived from the article interface acceleration at higher level of assembly. This conventional approach to testing has been known for over 30 years to greatly overtest the test article at its own natural frequencies. In recent years, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory led the development and implementation of an improved method called force limited vibration (FLV) testing. In addition to controlling the input acceleration, the FLV testing measures and limits the reaction forces between the test article and the shaker. 1, record 2, English, - force%20limited%20vibration%20testing

Lors de tests vibratoires conventionnels de matériel spatial, l'accélération imposée à la base de l'unité mise à l'essai est contrôlée selon des spécifications habituellement tirées de l'accélération d’interface de l'unité à des niveaux avancés d’assemblage. Depuis maintenant 30 ans, cette approche conventionnelle de mise à l'essai du matériel est reconnue pour surtester les éléments à leurs propres fréquences naturelles. Au cours des dernières années, le JPL [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] de la NASA a été le chef de file dans le développement et la mise en œuvre d’une nouvelle méthode de test vibratoire où la force d’interface est aussi contrôlée(FLV pour Force Limited Vibration testing). En plus de contrôler l'accélération imposée, la méthode d’essai FLV mesure les forces exercées entre l'élément testé et le pot vibrant et limite ces dernières. 1, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%26rsquo%3Bessai%20FLV

A Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) ... The CEIT is a test conducted two to three months prior to a shuttle launch. Astronauts who will be the on-orbit users of the flight hardware verify that there are no interface problems between that hardware and the astronaut users. Astronauts are mostly trained at Johnson Space Center, whereas the flight hardware is located at Kennedy Space Center. The CEIT provides the astronauts with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the flight hardware. During this test, fit checks are made between flight hardware that have not yet been verified. Fit checks with EVA tools and hardware planned to be handled during EVA are also conducted. Training that is difficult to conduct using mockups are also conducted. 3, record 3, English, - crew%20equipment%20interface%20test

Les tests d’interface équipement de l’équipage sont couramment effectués à bord des engins spatiaux destinés à être lancés prochainement afin de fournir aux membres de l’équipage une occasion de se familiariser avec l’équipement qu’ils devront utiliser et avec tous les aspects du module où ils devront vivre. 1, record 3, French, - test%20d%26rsquo%3Binterface%20%C3%A9quipement%20de%20l%27%C3%A9quipage
