Recently, we visited the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) in Bremen to perform the vibration test for our REXUS/BEXUS experiment CREATE. The goal of this test is to ensure that the experiment is robust enough to withstand the mechanical stress it experiences during the launch of the REXUS rocket. During the test CREATE was already mounted in its module to resemble the final flight configuration as much as possible. In the attached picture you can see our experiment mounted on the shaker together with Small Satellite Student Society of the University of Stuttgart - KSat e.V.. We are happy to announce that the mechanical setup of our experiment performed really well during the test. There was no damage or malfunction discoverd during and after the test which makes us really confident for the upcoming launch campaign in march 2024! Next week we will return to the ZARM facilities to attend the REXUS integration week. During this 3-days-event CREATE is integrated and tested with it the other REXUS-31 experiments for the first time! We really look forward to the integration week, stay tuned 🚀
