SoftRide Launch Environment Mitigation

SoftRide Launch Environment Mitigation

CSA's SoftRide vibration isolation systems protect satellites from the rough ride into orbit. SoftRide systems employing patented UniFlex isolators reduce axial vibration, while systems using MultiFlex and ShockRing target axial and lateral vibration and shock. SoftRide also provides some shock isolation and reduces transmission of energy that drives acoustic loading. The standard SoftRide designs are tuned to each combination of launch vehicle and payload to insure best performance while remaining compatible with attitude control systems. CSA manufactures and tests SoftRide components and installs systems jointly with customers. For more information, email softride@csaengineering.com.
