TEACHING SPACE SYSTEMS VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION USING EYASSAT - ADDING REALITY

摘要

Space Systems Verification and Validation reaches across the development and operational cycles of major space programs around the globe. Other than a verification matrix from a current program, how does one transfer to the students of all ages the knowledge, lessons learned, and best practices associated with Space Systems Verification and Validation? This paper will discuss the approach taken for teaching Verification and Validation to space professionals in such places as NASA and the European Space Agency's (ESA's) European Space Aesearch and Technology Centre (ESTEC). The successful critiques show that the approach is working by adding reality through use of a fully functional hands-on educational nanosatellite.
