Flight Qualify
To flight-qualify is to take a product, process, or material and test it in order to prove that it will withstand the environment of aerodynamic or space flight. This process can include the following tests and processes: * parts screening * Infrared and thermal testing, thermal test * Vacuum chamber, vacuum test * vibration test or modal testing * List of materials analysis methods, material analysis A flight qualification can include a test in the actual desired environment.

Space Flight
Spaceflight (or space flight) is an application of astronautics to fly spacecraft into or through outer space, either human spaceflight, with or uncrewed spaceflight, without humans on board. Most spaceflight is uncrewed and conducted mainly with spacecraft such as satellites in Earth orbit, orbit around Earth, but also includes space probes for flights beyond Earth orbit. Such spaceflight operates either by telerobotic or Autonomous robot, autonomous control. The more complex human spaceflight has been pursued soon after the first orbital satellites and has reached the Moon and permanent human presence in space around Earth, particularly with the use of space stations. Human spaceflight programs include the Soyuz programme, Soyuz, China Manned Space Program, Shenzhou, the past Apollo program, Apollo Moon landing and the Space Shuttle programs, with currently the International Space Station as the main destination of List of human spaceflights, human spaceflight missions while C ...
