SPHEREx Observatory Continues its Testing Campaign with Acoustic Test
The picture shows the SPHEREx observatory installed in the Fiesta Area, at BAE Systems in Boulder CO. The observatory is surrounded by speaker stacks, that are used to perform the acoustics test. This test was performed in late July 2024, and entails subjecting the assembly to the acoustics loads that it will see during its launch environment. SPHEREx passed this test with flying colors.
