NASA, ECSS, MIL, JAXA, ISO) and evolution. 2 nd 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. MAT€D, SSED, commercial), metrics for Optimum Model and Test Philosophies including complexity index evaluation 3 rd 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 4 th 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) 5 th Session: “Thermal Testing” Comparison of requirements (e. g. Number of Thermal Cycles) and methodologies (e. g. Solar Simulation vs Infrared, Ambient vs Vacuum), perspectives 6 th 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 7 th 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 8 th 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) 9 th Session: “Test Facilities” Exchange of status of requirements , actual lessons learned in operations and perspectives (e. g. use of Virtual Reality, new facilities, new NDI techniques), among world-wide test centers 10 th 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 April the 12 th.
