Spacecrafts are exposed to a variety of mechanical environments during launch. The shock environment generated during the separation of the satellite and rocket parts and the deployment of solar paddles and antennas is one of the typical mechanical environments. Since the shock environment is a short time transient phenomenon, it is often difficult to simulate the real environment in ground tests. Also, there is a lack of improvement and horizontal deployment as shock testing is rarely focused on the development process. JAXA's research and development and current issues are introduced about shock testing.
