Flight qualification

To flight-qualify is to take a product, process, or material and test it in order to prove that it will withstand the environment of aerodynamic or space flight.[1] This process can include the following tests and processes:

* parts screening
* thermal test[2]
* vacuum test
* vibration test or modal testing
* material analysis

A flight qualification can include a test in the actual desired environment.[3]
