This dataverse contains the configuration controlled documentation for the SOFIA Telescope Assembly subsystem 3300 Vibration Isolation Assembly (VIA): The VIS isolates the Telescope support structure from the vibrations of the aircraft structure.

The SOFIA TA Technology and Operations Archive Manual contains a guide how to use the archive as well as an overview of the SOFIA TA Hardware Breakdown Structure (HBS).

The VIA component is organized according to the HBS and contains subsystems as listed in the following tree structure:
