The team discussed the different checks and tests that have to be done such as vibration, shock, thermal vacuum, long duration and etc. in order to achieve mission success. Some other tests include acoustic and radiation tests require sophisticated test facilities and out of scope for our CubeSat project. Moreover, documenting all of the testing procedures for the CubeSat is crucial for qualification and flight acceptance tests. We had a look on the following documents to get a better understanding of the tests and used these as the basis for developing our CubeSat mission requirement.
