operation necessitates comprehensive testing to analyze space-induced eects and to develop risk mitigation procedures. As typical satellite mission durations range from 3 to 10 years, there is also a fundamental problem in testing for sucient durations in order to make proper predictions on the end-of-life (EOL) performance. is has necessitated forms of accelerated testing whose validity must be carefully analyzed.
