| 3.4.1.1 TEST-LIKE-YOU-FLY EXCEPTIONS For acceptance and protoqualification tests performed on the flight Payload units, test-like-you-fly exceptions must be approved by SpaceX. Test-like-you-fly exceptions include all changes from the flight configuration to the test configuration. Rationale for the deviation must be provided to SpaceX. Common examples include Not testing propulsion systems at flight pressure during the test Not filling propulsion tanks with reactive propellants during the test Not including separation system during the test (see Section 3.4.1.3) Mass models or engineering models used in place of flight hardware 3.4.1.2 POST-INTEGRATED TEST MODIFICATIONS Limited disassembly of the Payload for functional checkouts after the integrated testis allowed, as long as the following criteria are met Fastened joints that meet the criteria in Section 4.1.2 are eligible for disassembly after test. Workmanship sensitive joints (adhesive, epoxy, brazed, welded, etc) require a retest if they are modified after testing. Reassembly after test must follow the fastener installation requirements in Section 4.1.2. Deployment mechanisms that are reassembled after testing must demonstrate similar workmanship insensitivity, redundant workmanship controls, post-reassembly proof testing, or retest of random vibration acceptance levels for 30 seconds in the most stressing single axis.

Export Controlled Data. 19 3.4.1.3 PAYLOAD SEPARATION SYSTEM QUALIFICATION Each individual separation system must undergo qualification testing. It is required that each Payload separation system be included in the fully integrated Payload assembly acceptance or protoqualification test campaign. SpaceX reserves the right to reject a Customer request to exclude the Payload separation system during fully integrated Payload testing. Exceptions, if approved, can only be granted if the separation system has been onboarded to the SpaceX catalogue. New separation systems can be onboarded to the SpaceX catalogue and may incur additional costs. Fora list of separation systems already included in the catalogue or for information on the onboarding process, contact SpaceX. Download 2.78 Mb. Share with your friends:
