Gravity affects structures differently on orbit but those structures must be integrated and validated on the ground. A compliant deployable appendage may be mass-optimized for in-space performance but unable to support its own weight on Earth. CSA’s gravity offload systems provide low frequency suspension, with modes as low as 0.1 Hz, enabling you to test and validate space structures. With no sag, the suspension allows testing of fixed structures and additional features support structures with moving and deploying appendages.
