Abstract:

This document is a tailoring of USAF Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) standard number SMC-S-016 (2014), entitled "Test Requirements for Launch, Upper-Stage and Space Vehicles", which focuses on design verification and the identification of latent defects to help ensure a high level of confidence in achieving successful space missions. This tailoring is based on a joint Aerospace-SMC assessment of test requirements currently on, or required for near-term future, SMC contracts. The goal was to streamline those requirements that are commonly tailored or can be re-stated to facilitate more effective implementation. This effort is not a full update of the SMC-S-016 standard. These documents, together, are intended for use in acquisition and study contacts for SVs.
