<p>A lateral acceleration force isolator that forms a part of an attachment fitting (10) for a payload, such as a spacecraft or satellite, and launch vehicle assembly. An upper portion (12) of the isolator is designed to be attached to the payload and a lower portion (14) is designed to be attached to a launch vehicle. Flexures (16) are positioned in an array between the upper (12) and lower (14) portions to accommodate lateral displacement in the payload attachment fitting (10), thereby isolating lateral acceleration forces.</p> |
