Micro-vibration　caused　by　disturbance　sources　onboard　spacecraft　can　severely　degrade　the　working　environment　of　sensitive　payloads.　Some　notable　vibration　control　methods　have　been　developed　particularly　for　the　suppression　or　isolation　of　micro-vibration　over　recent　decades.　Usually,　passive　isolation　techniques　are　deployed　in　aerospace　engineering.　Active　isolators,　however,　are　often　proposed　to　deal　with　the　low　frequency　vibration　that　is　common　in　spacecraft.　Active/passive　hybrid　isolation　has　also　been　effectively　used　in　some　spacecraft　structures　for　a　number　of　years.　In　semi-active　isolation　systems,　the　inherent　structural　performance　can　be　adjusted　to　deal　with　variation　in　the　aerospace　environment.　This　latter　approach　is　potentially　one　of　the　most　practical　isolation　techniques　for　micro-vibration　isolation　tasks.　Some　emerging　advanced　vibration　isolation　methods　that　exploit　the　benefits　of　nonlinearity　have　also　been　reported　in　the　literature.　This　represents　an　interesting　and　highly　promising　approach　for　solving　some　challenging　problems　in　the　area.　This　paper　serves　as　a　state-of-the-art　review　of　the　vibration　isolation　theory　and/or　methods　which　were　developed,　mainly　over　the　last　decade,　specifically　for　or　potentially　could　be　used　for,　micro-vibration　control.　(C)　2014　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
