Introduction
This document provides the basis and guidance for formulating test plans for spacecraft systems, subsystems and component products, with the purpose of fully testing the products.
Effective testing to meet contractual performance specifications. This document determines the test basis for spacecraft systems, subsystems and component products.

An experiment to do or not to do. If an evaluation proves that a test "required by evaluation" is valid, then the test "required by evaluation" is
It is a "required" test, and vice versa is an "unrequired" test. The tests specified in this document are mainly environmental tests, that is, to help determine the impact of environmental stress on
Product impact testing also includes other test requirements, such as function/performance testing, modal observation, measurement and control system/spacecraft compatibility testing
