A study of relationships between performance in system tests and spaceApproaches for measuring the effectiveness of tests and test programs are considered, taking into account system test effectiveness, thermal-vacuum test effectiveness, and vibration test effectiveness. Methods for predicting space performance on the basis of system test effectiveness are discussed along with aspects of defect detection in thermal-vacuum tests. Questions regarding the thermal-vacuum test costs in relation to the probability of early space failures are also explored.
