Perforation helps reduce sound and vibration levels, as well as equalize the pressure during launch.
When you work in the aerospace industry, you know just how precise every aspect must be to ensure the safety and functionality of all aircraft. Spacecraft are particularly sensitive, as these machines travel at high rates of speed as they move toward far-away components in the solar system. Perforation is often a key element of the design of rockets and other types of aircraft or spacecraft for various reasons. Creating small holes helps to reduce vibration that is generated during launch and equalize pressure during launch.
If too much pressure builds up, the spacecraft and its payload are at risk of damage. Heat changes also spread through the rocket, particularly during the ascent, in response to air friction. Perforated panels may be part of the thermal protection strategy.
