Description

The International Space Station ISS is a unique aerospace program. The ISS spacecraft will not be completely assembled and tested on the ground prior to being delivered to orbit. The spacecraft elements and distributed systems are developed by eight different major Product Groups and International Partners and are assembled over 56 months with approximately 38 assembly flights. Consequently, unique and high-technology applications were derived to ensure the verification of the Space Station could be provided. This paper addresses two of the techniques employed to ensure verification could be effectively and efficiently accomplished.
