ABSTRACT:
A satellite integration and testing system and method in which a satellite (12) is assembled and many tests are performed on it in a single test chamber (10), thereby avoiding multiple setup and tear-down operations required if multiple test chambers are used, and avoiding the need to move the satellite between test chambers.
