A satellite is exposed to various impact environment until orbit entry. It is particularly undergoing the biggest impact by pyro shock, which is generated when the launch vehicle stages are separated or the satellite is separated from the launch vehicle. In this paper, due to the fact that the pyro shock is prerequisite for performing the test and verification on the ground, we developed an air-gun type shock tester for NEXTSat-1 shock test at the KAIST SaTReC along with the development of program introduced by LabVIEW software. The program operated in shock tester is consist of data measurement and analysis with the convenient implementation of user interface and its easy modification of the code.
