Vibration testing of spacecraft to levels of booster interface spectrum while supported by "rigid" fixtures is deemed unrealistic in that structural failures may be induced which would not occur on more compliant support of booster; limiting of shaker input forces at vehicle support points to design limit loads precludes this type of failure; random vibration tests conducted on P RIME SV-5D lifting body utilized this force limiting approach and techniques employed are described.
