BackgroundBackground Many universities have and will Many universities have and will
have contracts, grants, and co-have contracts, grants, and co-operative agreements with operative agreements with NASA to provide space flight NASA to provide space flight experiments and payloadsexperiments and payloads
These payloads are designed, These payloads are designed, constructed and tested under constructed and tested under diverse conditions and by largely diverse conditions and by largely “amateur” teams “amateur” teams
AAQAAQ is to provide assistance in is to provide assistance in assuring that payloads are assuring that payloads are “successful” from an operations “successful” from an operations standpoint standpoint
