Common use of Test Data Clause in Contracts

Test Data. During the test campaigns, the test data shall be made available to Inmarsat in real time. During spacecraft level testing, a terminal shall be provided in the integration and test facility to allow Inmarsat personnel to access spacecraft telemetry data in real time. In addition, it shall be possible for Inmarsat to monitor the spacecraft telemetry data remotely via data-lines during the spacecraft system test. Test data shall be compared with the expected values. The actual measured values of all parameters shall be recorded and made available to Inmarsat. Items which are outside the specified limits shall be clearly identified. All test data shall be provided to Inmarsat using a mutually agreed electronic media for off-line analysis. For each test at equipment, subsystem and spacecraft level, a subset of the measured data shall be entered into a trend analysis record; the parameters to be used for trend analysis shall be agreed on a case-by-case basis with Inmarsat. Mate/demate and Running Time Logs shall be maintained for all units. All test data shall be available and preserved for subsequent use during in-orbit testing and operation.
