Thermal tests under vacuum conditions and structural ones of this support are planned<br />

for June 2010. For the STRU subsystem, the following verications will have to be performed:<br />

• A visual inspection of the support to detect potential failures.<br />

• A sinusoidal test before and after the thermal tests. This particular test allows to<br />

compare the natural frequencies of the support before and after it is submitted to<br />

vacuum conditions. If there is any dierence between these two sets of frequencies, it<br />

means that the support suers some failures (which could not be detected visually)<br />

and that its structural integrity is not guaranteed in the harsh space environment.<br />

It should be noted that, between these two sinusoidal tests, the support must not be<br />

modied in any way.<br />

• A verication of the tting torques applied to the screws.<br />
