AIAA S-117A-2016 Space Systems Verification Program and Management Process

standard by American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 06/03/2016

Full Description

AIAA S-117A-2016 establishes a set of requirements for planning and executing verification programs forcommercial/noncommercial manned and unmanned space systems.

This standard enforces the "distributed" verification program among general space system builders thatengage in the development of any components of a space system, starting at the lowest level (i.e.,unit/piece part level) and the earliest phase (i.e., requirement phase) through to the sell-off and theconsent-to-ship of a system?s development as well as the launch site activities.

Although space systems generally include all or combinations of five segments-Space Segment, LaunchSegment, Ground Segment (GS), User Segment, and Satellite Control Network Segment-this standardprimarily addresses verification associated with space segment, launch segment, and ground segmentacquisitions. Launch segments including range safety, ground support equipment, and launch operationfacilities, which are not otherwise addressed in this document, may also benefit from the describedverification management processes.

The standard may be adapted to the remaining two space systems: the user segment and the satellitecontrol network segment.
