scope:

This handbook defines and documents the verification process preferred by the Systems Verification Branch for MSFC in-house programs. The handbook also defines additional activities and variations of the process that could be used with a launch vehicle program, a Spacelab Payload Program and a program developed by a contractor. No one process can be applied to every program, and each verification activity and product defined herein must be assessed as to the applicability it may have on any specific project. This handbook defines and describes each activity and product of a process beginning with a verification program concept and continuing through post-flight data analysis.
