Vibroacoustic launch analysis and alleviation of lightweight, active mirrors

Lightweight, active, silicon carbide mirrors can increase the capability of space-based optical systems. However, launch survival is a serious concern for such systems, with the vibrations and acoustics from launch threatening to damage the optics. Therefore, a dynamic, state-space launch model has...
