The preliminary list of Sessions and associated
topics is the following 1st Session
Verification and Testing Standards Comparison
of different Verification and Testing Standards
(e.g. NASA, ECSS, MIL, JAXA, ISO) 2nd Session
Verification and Test Philosophies / Test
Effectiveness Comparison of different
Verification and Test Philosophies in
relationship also to the results of several Test
Effectiveness Initiatives (e.g. MATD, SSED,
commercial), metrics for Optimum Model and Test
Philosophies including complexity index
evaluation 3rd Session End-to-end and In-Orbit
Testing Exchange of operational experiences and
lessons learned on System end-to-end Testing
before, during and after the launch (e.g. Ground
Segment Compatibility, Commissioning, In-orbit
Verification), Test Like You Fly methodology,
perspectives 4th Session Verification vs
Space Missions Comparison of the Verification
and Testing approaches for different space
missions (e.g., Human and Robotics Space
Exploration, Small University Satellites,
Re-Entry Vehicles) 5th Session Thermal
Testing Comparison of requirements (e.g. Number
of Thermal Cycles) and methodologies (e.g. Solar
Simulation vs Infrared, Ambient vs Vacuum),
perspectives 6th Session Mechanical
Testing Comparison of requirements (e.g.
Effectiveness of Sine Vibration and Acoustic,
margin policy) and methodologies (e.g. Transient,
Force Limiting, Modal Survey Techniques),
perspectives 7th Session Electrical,
Functional and Special Testing Comparison of
requirements (e.g. Optimum Integrated System
Tests, Model Driven Verification, effective EGSE,
S/W Testing) and methodologies (e.g. EMC test
approaches, automatization), perspectives 8th
Session Special Tests Challenging methods
(e.g. optical and stability tests, mechanisms and
robotics testing, combined tests) and new mission
requirements (e.g. Re-entry Vehicles, Planets
Exploration and permanent settlements) 9th
Session Test Facilities Exchange of status of
requirements , actual lessons learned in
operations and perspectives (e.g. use of Virtual
Reality, new facilities), among world-wide test
centers 10th Session Alternative/Complementary
Verification Methods State-of-the-art and
innovative approaches (e.g. Thermal/Mechanical/EMC
qualification by Analysis, use of simulation,
optimum Test/Analysis combination) The detailed
programme (in terms of sessions and invited
speakers) will be finalized by February 28th
