The SDIRP was designed to address the need for vibration isolation and rejection for small payloads (~20 kg capacity) but with a small impact (< 20%) on the overall size, weight and power (SWaP) of the complete system. The SDIRP can accommodate telescopes, cameras and other observational instrument payloads.
The current state of the technology has been validated to TRL 4/5 using a laboratory gravity off-load system to simulate the gravity-free environment. Maturation of the SDIRP technology is highly relevant and aligned to the NASA objectives. The SDIRP provides an unprecedented level of instrument stabilization and spacecraft jitter rejection (greater than 50 dB in the 0.1 @ 1 kHz band) for small low mass payloads with a small impact on the overall SWaP of the instrument.
