A study performed to assess the possibility of reducing short life spacecraft costs by significantly reducing the financial impact of the procurement of Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical (EEE) components, is described. Strategies for cost reduction which do not compromise the probability of mission success are sought. It is concluded that an overall component cost saving in the area of 90 percent is possible through the procurement of parts screened in accordance with a minimum quality method which is previously defined. An analysis of screening data from final production tests, burn in electrical measurements and lot acceptance tests is suggested as the basis of a procurement cost reduction exercise within space programs.
