This NASA Technical Standard provides an Agency-wide basis from which test programs are developed for NASA payloads. The document defines a standard set of flight hardware test requirements which provides the necessary verification of design adequacy and flight worthiness of NASA spacecraft. Compliance provides consistency across the Agency and its contractors, facilitating the sharing of hardware between Centers and programs. Compliance also provides a basis for establishing a baseline pedigree for the "qualification by similarity" evaluation process for "heritage" hardware without the need to consider the variability of test requirements. This Standard includes selected environmental exposure tests for flight hardware. The Standard has been developed for payloads that will operate in Earth’s orbit but may be tailored to include other operating environments. The tests included are generally regarded as the most critical and the ones having the highest cost and schedule impact. This Standard also includes functional demonstration tests necessary to validate the capability of the hardware to perform its intended function (with and without environmental exposure). This Standard specifies test levels, factors, margins, durations, and other parameters. In some cases, these specifics are expressed statistically or are referenced in other NASA standards.
