IV&V at The Aerospace Corporation in Support of U.S. Space Force Programs

The Aerospace Corporation collaborates closely with the United States Government and contractors to ensure launch and spacecraft programs are successful, particularly for National Security Space (NSS) missions. Schedule and cost constraints can result in truncated test programs and potential gaps in analysis and execution. To increase program success, The Aerospace Corporation leverages lessons learned from many programs and augments this insight with independent verification & validation (IV&V) activities. This talk will discuss how IV&V has played a critical role in ensuring the success of spaceflight missions.
