There is a strong need for a Standards Quality assurance documents.
But prior to built such standards it has been presented during ISROSBut prior to built such standards it has been presented during ISROS 2009 and 2010 the need to elaborate a guideline document to synthesize the best practices and recommendations to design, test, industrialize,
f fuse, control, screen and qualify optoelectronic products for end-use in Space Application.
A tentative was initiated to work on a common document titled :
“PRODUCT ASSURANCE GUIDELINE FOR OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES FOR SPACE APPLICATION”
Today, this initiative need to be enlarged and more deeply activatedToday, this initiative need to be enlarged and more deeply activated thanks to the effort of the existing community.
