Satellite system verification planning is an intensive system engineering process requiring a highly disciplined and coordinated effort among the system engineers involved in requirements generation and flowdown, and engineers involved in the design, test and evaluation, and overall program planning functions. With the recent resurgence in the space industry of more disciplined acquisition and development practices, this paper discusses critical elements of a disciplined verification planning process, as embodied in a variety of space industry specifications, standards, and best practices, with an emphasis on the test planning function. Included in this paper is a look at the criticality of understanding mission operations in verification planning activities. This includes an emphasis on rigorously assessing the need for operational scenario testing under simulated environmental conditions. With increases in satellite complexity, assessing the role of modeling and simulation early in the verification planning process has become a key part of assuring a successful test plan during development. Best practices aimed at avoiding downstream design, production and operational problems are discussed along with common pitfalls and suggestions for improving the technical rigor in the verification planning process, testing execution, and programmatic policies aimed at improving development schedule realism and ultimately, improving mission success.
