Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a vibration control system and a vibration control device for structurally isolating a load from a vibration source. In various embodiments a vibration isolation device includes a first and support structure and a sidewall extending between and defining a body of the vibration isolation component. In embodiments the sidewall is configured to structurally support the load. In embodiments the sidewall includes one or more lattice portions occupying at least part of a total area of the sidewall, the lattice portions configured to attenuate a transfer of vibrations through the sidewall between the first and second support structures for reducing vibration transfer from the spacecraft vibration source and the load. In embodiments the body of the vibration isolation device is approximately the same as a component without one or more lattice portions such that the payload interface cone is a drop-in replacement.
