Bibliography

This European Standard,a) specifies standard environmental and performance test requirements for a space system and its constituents;b) specifies the test requirements for products and systems that are generally applicable to all projects; c) specifies the documentation associated with testing activities;d) is applicable to all types and combinations of project, organization and product;e) is applicable to space systems and its constituents; and f) covers each stage of verification by testing, for a space system from development to post-landing.This European Standard does not specify acceptance criteria, specifications or procedures for any particular project or class of projects. In addition this Standard does not apply to software testing, hardware below equipment levels, nor covers the following:
