FOREWORD

3. A verification process is required by this document. The verification process is fundamental in the development of a successful launch or space system. The process involves various tasks performed in different program phases applying a coherent bottom-up building block concept.
4. The fact that most launch and space systems involve flight equipment that is not recoverable and not repairable means that risk management is essential. The cost of a failure may be extremely high due to the loss of mission capability and the loss of equipment. The large number of independent organizations involved and the complexity of equipment and software means
that extensive verification of launch and space systems is necessary to reduce the risk of failure. A combination of different verification methodologies (e.g., Test, Analysis, Inspection) at several assembly levels (from units to the overall system) through the various program verification phases (e.g. Qualification, Acceptance, Pre-launch, On-orbit) is cost effective in assuring successful equipment and software design and operation.
