The rapid growth of the Small Satellite and New Space sectors involves a strong demand for efficient environmental testing strategies that enable the reliable use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Thanks to the high performance of modern electronics, COTS technologies offer attractive opportunities for small and medium-sized companies entering the space industry, but their qualification for harsh space environments remains a critical challenge. Best-practice examples are essential to reduce risk, especially for small and medium enterprises, which intend to enter the space sector
