RUAG makes most of the "payload adapters" that integrate the satellite onto the top of a rocket. Based on the size of JWST they're probably using a 1666 model payload adapter. RUAG's clamp-bands and separation system have a very well characterized Shock Response Spectrum [0, pg. 4], which would have been accounted for in the design of JWST. But the spacecraft and satellite usually separate after the initial shock of the explosive bolt and clamp-band de-tensioning, so they may need to investigate any coupling or recontact of the clamp-band. If we're lucky they had some accelerometers running during integration and can review actual response data. 0) https://www.ruag.com/system/files/media_document/2019-03/PLE-Brochure-Payload-Adapter-and-Separation-Systems.pdf https://www.ruag.com/system/files/media_document/2019-03/PLE...
