For a part of the space community, lean satellite programs represent the possibility of building a satellite despite lack of resources; and hope, through successful achievement, to be recognized as a positive contributor to space science, technology, engineering, and applications. For another part, lean satellite programs represent the black sheep of satellites engineering in the sense that they have the highest rate of infant mortality and mission failure, and a non-functional satellite is another space debris. High rate of infant mortality and mission failure of lean satellites tend to point out that ground based testing is not carried out optimally or sufficiently. Currently, work to define an adapted testing strategy for lean satellites is undergoing through the establishment of ISO19683 and HORYU-IV testing strategy was established based on it. Experimental data show that most failures are discovered during the early stage of the assembly, integration, and testing （AIT） processes. The results also show the importance of interfaces verifications. HORYU-IV failures taxonomy is also presented. Simulations were also carried out. Simulations results show that drastically increasing the initial AIT processes time does not drastically increase system’s reliability, but does drastically increase cost by more than 80% for HORYU-IV case. The research outcomes are intended to be used as guidance by lean satellite program developers and managers for better planning of AIT processes and resources allocation in order to develop more reliable, and therefore more sustainable, lean satellite systems., 九州工業大学博士学位論文 学位記番号：工博甲第438号 学位授与年月日：平成29年6月30日, 平成29年度},
