|
| 4.4.5-10 Assess EPDS Verification Execution and Results |
Level 2 Tasks
|
Ensure analysis, simulation, inspection, and test results provide evidence that the as-built system (including all interfaces) satisfies the requirements and specification baseline.
|

|
| 4.4.5-11 Assess EPDS Operational Readiness |
Level 2 Tasks
|
Ensure all activities required to transport, receive, accept, store, handle, test, deploy and control the space vehicle and supporting ground systems can be conducted safely and successfully. Includes activation activities - early on orbit testing - to ensure systems are operationally checked out before being released for mission ops.
