Abstract

This paper discusses the vibration isolation problem as it applies to spaceborne interferometers, and presents evidence that vibration isolation will be a required technology for these instruments. A hardware solution to the spaceborne interferometer isolation problem is offered with experimental evidence of its effectiveness.
