"ESA Explores the Periphery of Earthquake Zones"
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency's ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands uses the Hydra shaker table, capable of simulating rocket launch vibrations for satellite testing. The 18-tonne test table is enclosed within a 1400-tonne concrete block, supported by springs and dampers to prevent vibrations from spreading through the building. Operated by European Test Services, the ESTEC Test Centre is the largest facility of its kind in Europe, offering comprehensive satellite testing equipment.
