Testing To test the Micro-Adjustable Stabilizer Mount (MASM), it was placed in an uncontrolled and controlled environment to simulate any turbulence that it might experience in Lockheed Martin’s VCCT. This will be done with the use of two separate tests that will allow the MASM to be viewed during different working scenarios. A false ceiling was constructed from aluminum to suspend the MASM exactly like it would if it was physically located in the VCCT, as shown in Figure 1-3 below. A 20lb weight was hung from the device to act as the projector. (Click on thumbnail for larger view)

Micro-Adjustment
Conclusion Based on the results of the vibration test and the adjustments in the yaw, roll, and pitch directions, Team 9 Lockheed 2 has successfully met all the requirements of Lockheed Martin; to dampen vibration levels and micro-adjust in the 3 degrees of freedom. The Micro-Adjustable Stabilizer Mount is proven to be a working prototype!
