NICER Electromagnetic Testing Time-lapse Videos%3A Test
The Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) payload undergoes electromagnetic testing at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Electromagnetic testing serves to verify that NICER’s electrical subsystems do not interfere with each other or with International Space Station electrical systems through, for example, conducted or transmitted emissions. This test also verifies that NICER is not susceptible to malfunction due to the electromagnetic environment of the space station. Two time-lapse videos show the NICER payload deploy during electromagnetic testing and return to its stowed configuration following the tests.
