Capturing requirements, and managing tradeoffs among them, are critical yet complex activities.
NASA is supporting efforts to improve the verification and validation process and the risk management process for spaceflight projects.
An Engineering-of-Failure approach to designing and executing an accelerated product qualification test was performed to support a risk assessment of a work-around necessitated by an on-orbit failure of another piece of hardware on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft.
Presented here in are the latest metric evaluations for the effectiveness of the tests involved in one of JPL's recent space flight programs.
NASA's Code QE Test Effectiveness Program is funding a series of applied research activities focused on utilizing the principles of physics and engineering of failure along with those of engineering economics to assess and improve the value added by various validation and verification activities, with the primary emphasis being on testing.

(none given)From OBJECTIVES: Specific objectives of the working group are to support the innovation, development, evaluation and implementation of test methods, metrics and tools based on failure engineering/physics and/or root cause evaluations. Data sources systems and tools shall be developed and implemented that: 1) provide improved preventions, controls, analyses and tests (PACT) & field failure data collection, 2) facilities data analysis, archiving, retrieval, failure physics and/or root cause evaluations and 3) enable new and existing technology suitability evaluations to be performed.
Environmental testing of spacecraft is described, with charts and examples from Voyager and Galileo testing at JPL. Types of environmental tests used include vacuum, vibration, and dynamic.
