USA team members contribute to or develop initial planning documentation, test plans, results, and analyses documents. The team develops and maintains formal evaluation results papers to provide the most efficient and highest quality benefit to the program.

An excellent example of the work and expertise of the USA team is the Protuberance Heating Wind Tunnel testing where employees planned, tested, analyzed, and documented ascent vehicle protuberance designs.

USA has provided support for debris impact testing, plans and requirements for Space Shuttle return-to-flight activities, and integrated systems testing to support investigations into anomalous conditions such as the Engine Cut-Off (ECO) System.

USA integration support capabilities span the phases of initial concept creation, requirements development, ground/flight propulsion testing, and the operation of mature cryogenic propulsion systems. Capabilities include: supporting the design and development of flight systems, including system, instrumentation, and imagery requirements development and verification for system certification; defining integrated propulsion system test requirements; propellant densification studies; test support through data evaluation, imagery analysis, developing test reports, and measurement location documents and illustrated system manuals.

Additionally, USA employees support propulsion testing and operational activities, including operational loading of cryogenic and hypergolic propellants and defining integrated propulsion system test requirements for flight readiness firings.
