Abstract

This paper reviews an optics/vibration experiment involving the Harris Deployable Multi-Hex Prototype - a reflector structure comprising a seven-panel array. Design considerations needed to ensure the emulation of vibration pathologies characteristic of SDI systems are discussed. The key aspects of dynamic complexity, deployability and proper combination of generically distinct vibration suppression methods are emphasized. We describe the experimental setup which follows as a consequence of these considerations. The projected test plan emphasizes combined orchestration of active and passive methods.
