FUNcube vibration testing
Two videos showing vibration testing of the AMSAT-UK FUNcube satellite have been released.
This video shows the general layout of the RAL vibration testing
facility, and includes interviews with Graham G3VZV and David G0MRF at the conclusion of testing.
This is a short video showing what happens during a 'high sine' test. The test is being performed in the Z axis.
