Trust me, Brian (the original poster) knows *all* about space-born payloads, having been one of the folks that help design one of the space satellites that's currently taking pictures of the Sun. I've heard many of his fascinating stories about shake-tests, vacuum tests, and the like. I obviously don't speak for him, but I *think* he's looking for hints on doing it cheaply, vs. the expensive way that is normally done. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
