Series of pyrotechnic shock tests performed on lifting re-entry vehicle is described; data presented show dynamic responses of vehicle when subjected to shock inputs generated by flexible linear shaped charges, explosive bolts, and pressure cartridges; due to severe shock transients, various methods of attenuating these shock levels were investigated; effects of various shock isolation techniques are also shown.
