Protoflight is a portmanteau of "prototype" and "flight hardware". As defined by NASA Technical Standard NASA-STD-7002A, [1] it refers to a strategy where no test-dedicated qualification article exists and all production (flight) hardware is intended for flight. An example of a program using protoflight methods is the Mars Orbiter Laser ...
Qualification is the formal proof that the design meets all requirements of the specification and the parameters agreed in the Interface Control Documents (ICD) requirements with adequate margin, including tolerances due to manufacturing imperfections, wear-out within specified life-time, faults, etc.
The Protoflight model, [19] i.e. flight model, is the final version that incorporates all the best technical solutions implemented in the previous models. The flight model was subjected to the processes of qualification and certified by NASA for use aboard the International Space Station.
