The feasibility of a rendezvous and docking (RVD) mission in LEO using EURECA, to demonstrate a LEO dedicated RVD concept and for geostationary RVD demonstration in LEO was analyzed. Adequate verification methods for all RVD equipment and functions were identified. The purpose and logic of the ground test facilities within the development and verification phase of the RVD equipment and functions are outlined. The distinction between verification and validation is emphasized. Verification is concerned with all activities which prove that a design or performance feature is in accordance with a specification. Validation activities prove that the item or process is compatible with the reality, which includes to a certain extent also a verification of the specification. The demonstration mission constraints were identified and a mission timetable was established.
