- <p><em>The environmental testing phase of the NASA Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover </em><em>(VIPER) spacecraft presented a unique opportunity to compare traditional and newer modal testing </em><em>methods. This paper provides a background for the method of acoustic excitation, including special </em><em>considerations that were made in preparation for the modal measurements. The modal extraction </em><em>method for the acoustic excitation method is explored. The results are compared to a modal test of </em><em>the VIPER structure using the fixed base correction technique to validate the approach. Finally, </em><em>conclusions are made regarding acceptable use cases and considerations for such a test.</em></p>
