The plan that keeps counterfeit or substandard parts out of the space product's supply and keeps every part traceable from wafer lot to customer.
Plan Work product in the Space and radiation-hardened parts lifecycle
Space parts are high value and supplied over long periods, which makes them a target for counterfeiting and makes traceability essential for failure investigation. The plan sets the controls that keep the supply authentic and traceable for the whole supply life. Without it, a counterfeit or recycled part can reach a spacecraft, and a failure in orbit cannot be traced back to its lot.
