AVUM+ shaker testing

ESA's upper stage propulsion module for use on Europe's future Vega-C in 2019, underwent vibration testing on the QUAD shaker at the ESTEC Test Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, during November 2018.
 
 This Attitude Vernier Upper Module, AVUM+, provides several improvements on Vega's AVUM including: composite skin sandwich structure, increased propellant load and main engine re-ignition capabilities, giving more flexibility for multi-payload missions.
 
 ESA’s Test Centre simulates every aspect of space including recreating the equivalent vibration of a rocket launch.
