The INTELSAT VI satellite test program was designed around repetitive ground testing and no onboard integrated diagnostics. The ultimate design goal was to maximize both communications capacity and operational lifetime by minimizing the satellite dry weight (i.e. satellite without propellants). On board integrated diagnostic increase cost, reduct operational lifetime, and decrease reliability because of the added complexity to the satellite design. System reliability was optimized by adding redundancy to the maximum possible extent. The repetitive test philosophy began with component-level testing and ended with the final test verification program at the launch base.<>
