Work in close cooperation with the spacecraft program manager to ensure the performance of the mechanical subsystems is compatible with other S/C subsystems. Evaluate bus mechanical test programs at the subsystem and system levels to ensure that these test programs adequately test the performance of the spacecraft's hardware and firmware over the applicable range of environment. Witness spacecraft integration and test activities and participate in test data review. Review the spacecraft operational and contingency procedures for technical accuracy, prior to their delivery to HQ for launch rehearsals. Support spacecraft launch site operations, mission operations and in-orbit operations, including in-orbit anomaly investigations.
