An essential part of any quality assurance program is strong test. The AsiaSat program will have a test program which begins with unit level tests and then aggregates to subsystem tests. Test plans and procedures for subsystem level tests will be internally reviewed and approved to ensure their completeness and adequacy. Prior to shipment to Asiasat, certain of the subsystems will be integrated and tested to

example of this is the testing of the realtime with the baseband equipment. After equipment arrival at the SCF Site in Hong Kong, individual subsystems will be installed and tested using previously approved procedure to verify their performance as unchanged from the in-plant tests. Subsequently, the system will be integrated and tested to validate all system performance capabilities.
