Elastic properties of a granular packing show nonlinear behavior determined by its discrete structure and nonlinear inter-grain force laws. Acoustic waves show a transition from constant, pressuredependent sound speed to a shock-wave like behavior with amplitude-determined propagation speed. This becomes increasingly visible at low static confinement pressure as the transient regime shifts to lower wave amplitudes for lower static pressure. In microgravity, confinement pressure can be orders of magnitude lower than in a ground based experiment. Also, the absence of hydrostatic gradients allows for much more homogeneous and isotropic pressure distribution. We present a novel apparatus for acoustic wave transmission measurements at such low packing pressures. A pressure control loop is implemented by a microcontroller that monitors static force sensor readings and adjusts the position of a movable wall with a linear motor until the desired pressure is reached. Measurements of acoustic waves are possible using accelerometers embedded in the granular packing as well as piezos. For excitation we use a voice coil-driven wall, with a large variety of signal shapes, frequencies and amplitudes. This enables experiments both in the linear and strongly nonlinear regime.
