Qualification is the formal proof that the design meets all requirements of the specification and the parameters agreed in the Interface Control Documents (ICD) requirements with adequate margin, including tolerances due to manufacturing imperfections, wear-out within specified life-time, faults, etc. The end of the qualification process is the ...
Actual system completed and "flight qualified" through test and demonstration (ground or space) System complete and qualified 9: Actual system "flight proven" through successful mission operations: Actual system proven in operational environment (competitive manufacturing in the case of key enabling technologies; or in space)
A protoflight approach carries a higher technical risk approach compared to a full qualification test program since it has no demonstrated life capability over the anticipated life cycle of the hardware, but is a technology development design process that utilizes higher risk tolerances, agile management practices, and quick responsiveness that ...
MIL-STD-498 standard describes the development and documentation in terms of 22 Data Item Descriptions (DIDs), which were standardized documents for recording the results of each the development and support processes, for example, the Software Design Description DID was the standard format for the results of the software design process.
The Little Joe II launch vehicle proved to be very acceptable for use in this program. Two difficulties were experienced. The Qualification Test Vehicle (QTV) did not destruct when commanded to do so because improperly installed primacord did not propagate the initial detonation to the shaped charges on the Algol motor case. The fourth mission ...
The first of the 12 LOSAT units was delivered in October 2002, and the system began a series of 18 production-qualification test firings in August 2003, at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. By March 2004, 18 KEMs had been fired at targets under a variety of conditions, both during the day and night.
It’s not even the end of December and North Carolina badly needed a win. The schedule was tough, and almost every test resulted in a loss. The promise that came with a top 10 preseason ranking ...
PROBA-2 is the second satellite in the European Space Agency's series of PROBA low-cost satellites that are being used to validate new spacecraft technologies while also carrying scientific instruments. [3]
