Cute-1.7 + APD II Vibration Test

We conducted a vibration test for Cute-1.7 + APD II in 30/Nov/2006 and 1/Dec/2006 at Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS).

The purpose of this test was to verify a structural endurance of the satellite and a connection between satellite and its separation system under the vibration level of launch vehicle, PSLV.
According to the test results, we verified that our separation system had enough connection strength.
But there were some troubles at the inner instrument of satellite.
We are going to conduct vibration test again at the end of January in 2007 after measuring against the troubles.

Thanks to all parties concerned for kind support.
