Satellites are designed and tested to withstand to static and dynamic operative loads during the launch and the ascent phase. The validation of the structural design of the satellite is generally performed by tests and/or analysis. The paper presents the static load test methods with a focus on the sine-burst quasi-static load test. A test procedure will be presented in order to overcome the main issues related to a sine-burst test. Finally test results performed on a 6U Cubesat will be discussed.
