The Observatory is now going through pre-vibration activities, including solar array deployments.

GPM Undergoes Electromagnetic Testing

The GPM Core Observatory is continuing with the environmental test program at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Following the completion of thermal vacuum testing in January 2013, the Core Observatory team started the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) test phase. The Core Observatory has successfully completed the Radio Frequency (RF) Self-Compatibility test and is being prepared for the next step of EMI/EMC test program. The EMI/EMC test program is expected to be completed in April 2013.
