The flight instrumentation for the Viking project was established to obtain environmental data, and maximize the data obtainable from the limited number of telemetry channels. To achieve these objectives, a set of six struts were strain gaged and calibrated as load cells to obtain a complete force-time history across an interface. The force-time history can be used with an analytical model to calculate the response of any part of the structure above the instrumented interface. Special matched filters were required to reduce the flight data and derive the phase correlated loads. Flight data results from the Viking Dynamic Simulator flown in February 1974 are described in addition to ground test results used to verify the data reduction process.
