3.2.4 Design Certification Review

The Contractor is required to demonstrate through the DCR that components and subsystems are “qualified” because they have been tested, analyzed, demonstrated, or shown by similarity to meet all functional requirements and demonstrate margin over all expected, storage, shipping, handling, flight, and acceptance environments. Artifacts that the as-built systems and subsystems are qualified are required to be supplied.

Qualification is required to be accomplished against the Contractor’s standard(s). It is recognized that launch service Contractor chooses to maintain their own technical standards for design and test; therefore the chosen standard(s) will be provided to the ORS office 1 month prior to the DCR to aid in our understanding of the qualification status. ORS reserves the right to withhold approval of this milestone if the mission specific design is not qualified to the Contractor’s standard(s).
