NASA monitors accoustic shock in shuttle launch CASE STUDY: MicroStrain Wireless Sensor Network The Noise generated by rocket exhaust during shuttle launch events generates considerable effects on the safety of spacecraft, ground facilities, and equipment. Accumulated stress threatens the safe operation of exposed systems. Monitoring remote, high-value assets: MicroStrain worked with NASA Kennedy Space Center researchers to implement a wireless sensor solution. The solution enabled web based monitoring of far-field shuttle launch acoustics. Test results corroborated prediction models with accurate, easily accessible field data. Furthermore, the deployed sensor network provides NASA with the foundation to implement a scalable remote sensor network capable of proactively monitori
