The introduction outlines the verification concept for programs of the European Space Agency (ESA). The role of the agency in coordinating the activities of major European space test centers is summarized. Major test facilities of the environmental test center at ESTEC, the Space Research and Technology Centre of ESA, are shown and their specific characteristics are highlighted with special emphasis on the six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) hydraulic shaker. The specified performance characteristics for sine and transient tests are presented. Results of single-axis hardware tests and 6-DOF computer simulations are included.
