<sec id="sec_1.1"><label>1.1</label><title>General</title><p>This document establishes a set of requirements for planning and executing verification programmes for commercial/non-commercial manned and unmanned space systems.</p><p>This document defines a distributed verification programme for each and every contractor that engages in the development of any element of a space system, starting from the lowest level (i.e., unit/piece part level) and the earliest phase (i.e., requirement phase) to the acceptance and the delivery review of a system’s development as well as the launch site activities.</p><p>This document primarily addresses verification associated with space, launch, and ground segment acquisitions. Space support segments including range safety, ground support equipment, and launch operation facilities, which are not otherwise addressed in this document, may also benefit from the described verification programme and management processes.</p><non-normative-note><label>Note 1 to entry</label><p>Lack of detailed descriptions in specifications may cause costly late changes and/or post-launch failures.</p></non-normative-note><non-normative-note><label>Note 2 to entry</label><p>A critical part of any distributed verification programme is to ensure that a thorough and solid specification is established for each level of a system being developed. This will be accomplished if the system developer for each level contractually takes responsibility/ownership of developing their specifications in coordination with their systems engineering organization. This approach is to ensure that requirements establishment and associated verification activities are well integrated.</p></non-normative-note></sec><sec id="sec_1.2"><label>1.2</label><title>Tailoring</title><p>In order to better support a specific programme or project, the processes defined in this document may be tailored to match the actual requirements or needs of the particular programme.</p></sec>
