Enhancement of : PE-6

Space Segment Guidance

During thermal-vac or vibration tests, vehicles often sit powered on but unattended, making them susceptible to covert probing. This enhancement requires video audit overlays that timestamp every opening of an access panel and every connection to a test umbilical. The footage is retained for the mission lifetime since latent tamper events can surface only after launch. As a simple rule, any door opened without a matching work order aborts test flow, forces an immediate non-destructive inspection, and triggers a cyber review to ensure no rogue firmware is loaded.
