The Role of Instrumentation and Testing in Space Mission Reliability,
Abstract
A review is made of the trend in instrumentation requirements as it pertains to testing in the aerospace industry. Because of the accelerating pace of technological advance, the test engineer is faced with compounding demands for increased accuracy, increased complexity of instrumentation, and increased quantity of instrumentation. The gap between measurement requirements, and measurement capability, is increasing rather than decreasing. This capability gap can be dealt with in one of three ways: slow down the pace of aerospace technology advancement; allow the gap to widen and conduct space exploration missions at great risk; or close the gap by accelerating the advancement of aerospace instrumentation capability.
