Lower level testing (subsystem, equipment, component) is frequently avoided, and the quality of these, given for granted. While this testing plan may be suitable for demonstration missions, we believe that shortly commercial missions will need a deeper quality assessment.

Assembly of initial prototypes and small quantities into cavity packages can be provided in Europe, this is only cost-effective for 10 units.  Users with low to medium applications such as space, medical, industrial, and aerospace struggle to find assembly at reasonable costs. They are never likely to reach volumes that are attractive to high-volume OSATs.  Small batches requiring numerous set-ups and a stop-start of production lines make factories very inefficient in an age where efficiency is critical to their survival and cost structure.

This standard describes the differences and the minimum testing requirements necessary to each of these three classes for evaluation, screening, and lot acceptance. The following test sequence shows the evaluation test sequence for class 1 components, this sequence is the same in the three classes described in the standard with different severity and test conditions to each class.

Component engineering consists of all the activities needed to correct the components’ correct selection, adapting their characteristics to the specific project requirements. It is easy to understand that for the correct component selection is therefore indispensable the availability of a PA plan. A component selection must be made, considering all the provisions stated in the PA plan regarding design, production, planning, and testing.

Product Assurance Plan for Small Sats

Product Assurance is a key step in New Space projects where SMALL SATS is one of the protagonists; due to the relatively low maturity of the sector and COTS parts for this type of mission. The Product Assurance Plan is the first step to a successful and well-managed project, and many of the activities that will be developed during the mission will be based on this Product Assurance Plan.

Current exuberance of the New Space market is characterized among other factors by the use of COTS components and minimized requirements in product assurance and testing policy. This results ultimately in relatively high failure rates of the missions which have been allowed by the relatively low maturity of the New Space sector and the just-for-demonstration purpose of many of the missions.

SRS shock testing for Small Sats

Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) is intended to reproduce the sudden shock that the satellite experiences when deployed from the launcher. This test consists of placing the EUT on a table and shocking the table with a hammer or projectile. This test is normally applied just to non-qualified designs. SRS is not a complex test, but it is tricky and requires a lot of experience from the operator.

A cleanroom is a controlled environment where products are processed. It is a room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled to specified limits. Eliminating sub-micron airborne contamination is really a process of control. These contaminants are generated by people, processes, facilities, and equipment. They must be continually removed from the air.
