The effectiveness of satellite environmental acceptance tests in reducing early flight failures and the economic benefits of flight failure avoidances versus the cost of performing the tests are discussed. The results indicate that satellite early flight failures decrease with increases in the degree of environmental testing. For two programs used as case studies, the economic benefits due to environmental testing are shown to exceed the cost of the tests. Recommendations for future cost benefit studies using a predictive methodology are made.
