Space Interferomety Mission/JPL Case Study
NASA/JPL needed a dynamic test bed for the Space Interferometry
Mission (SIM) to demonstrate spacecraft vibration-induced
errors of a few nanometers. They selected a
Minus K 0.4 Hz vibration isolation system for Zero-G simulation
and to mitigate floorinduced vibrations into the System
Test Bed 3 (STB3), which helped to achieve this
important goal.

Spitzer Space Telescope/Ball Aerospace Case Study
Low-frequency vibrations in the thermal-vacuum chamber
used to test the Cryogenic Telescope Assembly (CTA),
the “eyes” of the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope,
presented a challenge. Ball Aerospace selected
a Minus K 1⁄2 Hz vacuum-compatible vibration
isolation system that successfully met this challenge.

The Manoharan Atom Manipulation Lab/Stanford University
Case Study
The Manoharan Atom Manipulation Lab was designed for
ultrahigh vacuum cryogenic STM’s to assemble nanostructures
one atom at a time. It used multi-stage air isolation.
The first stage air isolators were replaced with ½
Hz Minus K isolators so experiments could be performed
during construction of an adjacent building.
