Rocket Noise and Vibration Shuttle/Payload Processing and ISS: Launch Pad Vibroacoustics Research at NASA/KSC

This viewgraph presentation provides information on the effects of noise of the SSME Space Shuttle Main Engine upon liftoff from Kennedy Space Center. It covers both effects experienced by astronauts within the Shuttles, and effects on the surrounding environment. The presentation then makes recommendations for design methods which take into account vibroacoustics.
