4.2-9-2 Ensure space system integration and test activities adequately addresses requirements verification and certification Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure evaluation of space system certification for the expected transportation, launch processing, launch and on-orbit environments. Evaluate units/payloads delivered from other entities to ensure compliance with space system interface requirements NA NA Space Vehicle Systems Engineering Handbook, TOR-2006(8506)-4494, Space Vehicle Test and Evaluation Handbook, TOR-2011(8591)-2
4.2-9-3 Ensure the space segment internal and external interfaces are defined, documented and verified Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure that all space system interfaces are considered as part of the Space Systems Test Planning Effort. These space system interfaces are tested/verified at the space system level and validated at the space vehicle level. NA NA Space Vehicle Test and Evaluation Handbook, TOR-2011(8591)-2
4.2-9-4 Ensure test readiness is evaluated Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure completeness of test readiness to include certified resources (manpower, equipment), contingency planning and that reviews are conducted at each lower level of assembly before integration to a higher level NA NA Space Vehicle Test and Evaluation Handbook, TOR-2011(8591)-2
