A second sounding rocket experiment was performed in the summer of 1998 in a continuing effort to validate the force limits techniques used in random vibration tests. The accuracy of the force limiting prediction techniques has not clearly been sufficiently confirmed with in-flight data as of this time. The flight was on board one of the BlackBrant series of sounding rockets. This vehicle is the one most commonly used for suborbital scientific payloads by NASA. An aluminum double deck structure simulating a dynamic source and load was flown. The hardware was instrumented with accelerometers and force sensors that measured input acceleration, forces and acceleration responses on the load. Force limiting analysis methods are compared with the flight measurements in order to evaluate analysis predictions methods and test procedures. This sounding rocket flight is the second in a series of flights that will be performed.
