maximum expected acoustic spectrum

Standard

June 2012: ECSS-E-ST-10-03C: "Space engineering: Testing" published

Definition

maximum value of the time average root-mean-square (r.m.s.) sound pressure level (SPL) in each frequency band occurring inside the payload fairing, orbiter, or cargo bay, which occurs during flight events

Notes

NOTE 1 E.g. lift-off, powered flight or re-entry.
NOTE 2 The maximum expected acoustic environment test spectrum is specified in octave or 1/3 octave bands over a frequency range of 31,5 Hz to 10 kHz. The duration of the maximum environment is the total period when the overall amplitude is within 6 dB of the maximum overall amplitude.
