Abstract

merit simulation. Confidence in the design is attained through tests of working prototype systems at augmented stress levels up to 50%; confidence in flight readiness is achieved for flight units by tests under the expected environments of launch or space. The laboratory and space results on unmanned scientific satellites over a four-year period show the philosophy to be sound. The cost effectiveness of this philosophy is still being evaluated. The philosophy is dependent upon having test articles that can be repaired, a fairly large capital investment in simulation facilities, and a resourceful and competent staff that can respond quickly after problems are detected.
