Описание (английский):

This document provides technical methods to calculate the precipitation efficiency and liability of a flight model by measuring the screening effectiveness of thermal cycles. This document is applicable to the recurring production unit and other hardware assembly levels, as either an option to reduce or a method to tailor the baseline number of cycles for thermal vacuum and thermal cycle acceptance tests.

Overview

ISO 9621:2024 - Space systems - Methods to decide thermal vacuum test cycles of recurring production according to precipitation efficiency and reliability - defines technical methods to determine the number of thermal vacuum test (TVT) cycles for recurring production flight hardware. The standard provides quantitative approaches to calculate precipitation efficiency (PE) and reliability from failure data, enabling test-cycle tailoring or reduction for mass-produced spacecraft hardware, constellation units, and repeated manufacturing blocks.

Key topics

Purpose: Measure screening effectiveness of thermal cycles to screen out latent defects (infant mortality) and justify the number of TVT or thermal cycle (TCT) acceptance test cycles.

Two calculation methods:

Method 1 - Precipitation efficiency method: Estimation of PE (probability of screening latent defects) from observed failures and test parameters.
Method 2 - Reliability method: Estimation of item reliability to support tailoring of TVT cycle counts.

Failure data collection and analysis: Required inputs and best practices include:

Cycle number when each failure occurred and test parameters (minimum/maximum temperatures; minimum temp suggested at −55 °C for failure data).
Function-test results during/after TVT to ensure failures are detected.
Treatment of failures from sequential or combined environments (e.g., vibration before/after TVT).
Handling data across different production lots and similarity justification when aggregating data.
Inclusion of thermal cycle test (TCT) fatigue data where relevant.

Data handling: Sorted failure-cycle lists and associated temperature ranges are used to derive PE and reliability estimates.

Supporting material: Annex A explains theoretical estimation of PE and lower bounds; Annex B contains a worked example.

Applications

ISO 9621:2024 is intended for:

Spacecraft test engineers and environmental test laboratories planning thermal vacuum and thermal cycle acceptance tests.

Reliability and quality engineers in satellite manufacturers, especially for recurring production and constellation programs.

Program managers and procurement teams who need a defensible basis to tailor or reduce baseline TVT cycles while maintaining screening effectiveness. Practical uses include reducing cost and test time for mass-produced flight hardware, tailoring test requirements based on accumulated failure data, and improving production-process feedback loops.
