The STRV-1B cryocooler vibration suppression experiment is a satellite flight demonstration of piezo vibration-suppression technology. A very small, tactical stirling-cooler was flown primarily as a vibration source. Two types of piezo actuators were demonstrated. Low-voltage piezo translators were used to move the entire cryocooler so that the tip of the coldfinger stood still. Also, high-voltage ceramic applique was bonded to the base of the coldfinger providing a second actuation method to compare with the translators. three eddy current transducers were used to measure the coldfinger tip motion relative to the experiment case. The eddy current signal drove two types of control systems. A digital adaptive-feed- forward control system was used to cancel the tip motion of the cryocooler in three dimensions. An analog-comb filter controller was also developed to contrast the two techniques. Motion suppression does nothing to suppress the unbalanced forces in the cryocooler, so a triaxial accelerometer measured the vibration of the satellite in response to the cryocooler. Satellite/ground test results from each of the experiment systems are shown and the systems are compared.
