Space Shuttle Launch Cameras

Challenge

Protect the integrity of space shuttle cameras during extreme launch conditions.

Solution

Our engineers supplied the NASA design team with a unique Sorbothane® isolator designed to protect shuttle cameras from the violent vibrations thrust upon them during launch. The Sorbothane component attenuates vibration damage to the highly sensitive cameras, which provide NASA with vital information used to verify the integrity of the shuttle’s heat shields.
