  • Hadi Navid Lecture: Test as You Fly

    Space Department

    Test as you fly – Mission success through realistic testing
    Space science and exploration missions are becoming increasingly more complex and expensive. In order to assure mission success, it is critical to develop test scenarios that more closely simulate the actual operational environment of the spacecraft. Even though environmental testing is a highly labor
    intensive and costly endeavor, the consequences of inadequate testing could be performance anomalies
    and in some cases complete mission failure.

    Wednesday, April 7, 2010 7pm - 8:30pm
