About this course

Focuses on the decisions that shape effective V&V across the system lifecycle: how early validation of requirements and models reduces downstream risk, and how verification planning drives test complexity, cost and schedule, with emphasis on a defensible link between requirements, verification methods, test events and acceptance criteria. Participants work through an extensive series of hands-on exercises using a desktop CubeSat with realistic hardware and software to implement an end-to-end assembly, integration and verification campaign.

TSTI delivers the course with a live instructor on site or virtually; public live-online sessions are offered through AIAA.

Course facilitators may include

Who should attend

  • Engineers, project managers, principal investigators and technicians responsible for organizing and executing verification and validation

Learning outcomes

  • Explain the end-to-end systems engineering process for requirements definition, allocation, validation and verification.
  • Describe the purpose and scope of key V&V documents and typical errors.
  • Select V&V methods for a system of interest and for prototype and proto-flight systems.
  • Develop, evaluate and implement a master verification plan for a space system, including hardware, software and ground support equipment.
  • Use NASA, ECSS, DoD and industry standards and lessons learned to support V&V decisions.
