Kaber Payload Mass & Volume Constraints Max VOLUME: Shown Below Envelope shown is JEM Airlock static envelope. Mission-specific envelope reductions to accommodate tolerance accumulations and micro-G disturbances are TBD. Additional envelope available for other form factors (e.g., a reduction in width allows an increase in length.) Mass: 75 kg Payloads may go over 75 kilograms in some cases. However, center of mass of s/c must be within margin, and ballistic co-efficient of s/c must be less than 91.24 kg/m2 assuming Cd = 2.

Random Vibration Comparison & Flight Acceptance Launch environment to ISS has significant advantages compared to rides on alternative LVs Being wrapped in bubble wrap and soft cargo bags significantly attenuates vibration experienced by s/c About 2 Grms (actual) Testing Required for ISS Flight Safety Certification Flight acceptance testing requires the Satellite be subjected to random vibration along each axis using the profile shown. The test period for each axis shall be 60 seconds.
