The first of two upgraded C-5Cs was tested to verify if the aircraft still met the vibroacoustics requirements set forth by NASA, Sept. 24, 2015, at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. Travis is home to the Air Force’s only two aircraft specially modified to insert and transport NASA space containers – including satellites – into the aft end of the cargo compartment. With the recent completion of the RERP upgrade, Air Force Space Command raised concerns regarding the vibratory environments of the cargo compartment, thus requesting the collection of the aircraft’s interior noise and vibration data to verify that the M-model SCM cargo compartment was still compliant with NASA requirements.
