4 Verification subject
The subject of this plan is the SAT-1 solar array wing, comprising the yoke, four deployable panels, the hold-down and release mechanism and the deployment hinges. Verification covers the wing in stowed, deploying and deployed configurations, from the qualification model through the proto-flight model.

4.1 Verification levels
Verification is performed at unit, subsystem and system level as defined in ECSS-E-ST-10-02C, clause 4.3. Table 4-1 assigns each item to its level; the verification matrix in section 9 traces every requirement to the method applied at that level.
4.2 Configurations
The deployed configuration is verified on the qualification model only. Stowed and deploying configurations are verified on both models, the proto-flight model at acceptance levels.
