    The document provides requirements and guidelines for sizing a spacecraft to be launched aboard the Ariane 5 rocket. It specifies the rocket's minimum required natural frequencies of 31 Hz for axial loads and 10 Hz laterally. It also lists the maximum expected axial and lateral accelerations of 6g and 1.5g respectively. To size the spacecraft, an aluminum cylinder will be modeled with a 2500kg payload mass. The required thickness will be calculated to meet the natural frequency requirements while ensuring the accelerations and Euler loads are not exceeded.
