MSI DFAT

Direct Field Acoustic Testing (DFAT) continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in spacecraft vibro-acoustic testing — from high-fidelity digital twins to novel test configurations that challenge decades-old assumptions. We're excited to share an exciting recent spacecraft launch and four new papers from our team and collaborators, covering everything from simulation validation to stacked-structure testing to directional acoustic excitation.
