Stress Level Testing of Missile and Rocket Systems During Development Tests (Environmental Stress Screening)

Abstract

This TOP presents guidance procedures for the planning and conduct of Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) tests. ESS is a process where hardware is exposed to one or more environments in a serial fashion to accelerate the discovery of design, workmanship, or part flaws inherent in electrical, optical, or mechanical equipment. Emphasis is placed on temperature cycling and random vibration test environments to include instructions for the conduct of thermal and vibration surveys.
