New technology is being developed to address the needs of quickly assembled, on-demand satellites. One such need is the ability to assess the structural health of the satellite to ensure launch survival. A significant contributor to the structural health of the satellite is the status of its bolted joints. This work investigates the possibility of using impact modulation as a method of detecting loose bolts within the satellite structure. Impact modulation was performed on a four bolt array on a realistic satellite structure for varying degrees of torque loss in the bolts. Results showed that torque loss in the bolts resulted in higher amplitudes of response at the modulated frequencies as long as the linear response at the modulated frequencies was accounted for.
