4.4.4-9-2 Ensure subsystem integration and test activities adequately addresses certification Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Evaluate subsystem attributes required for certification for the expected transportation, launch processing, launch and on-orbit environments. Evaluate units/payloads delivered from other entities to ensure compliance with subsystem interface requirements NA NA Space Vehicle Systems Engineering Handbook, TOR-2006(8506)-4494, Space Vehicle Test and Evaluation Handbook, TOR-2011(8591)-2
4.4.4-9-3 Ensure that all subsystem interfaces are considered as part of the space vehicle test planning effort Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure subsystem interfaces are tested/verified at the subsystem level and validated at the space vehicle level NA NA Space Vehicle Systems Engineering Handbook, TOR-2006(8506)-4494, Space Vehicle Test & Evaluation Handbook, TOR-2011(8591)-2
4.4.4-9-4 Ensure test readiness is evaluated Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure completeness of test readiness to include certified resources (manpower, equipment), contingency planning, environment and situational awareness of other competing programs. Ensure 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
