contractor facilities. Tests would include analyses,
simulations, component/assembly tests, and flight tests.
This document summarizes the findings expressed in the
Six Environmental Assessments for
Demonstration/Validation testing of the individual
technologies, and analyzes the potential cumulative
environmental consequences of testing of multiple
technologies at a given facility. In the event that any
other technology is ready for entry into
Demonstration/Validation at a later date, an
Environmental Assessment will be prepared for that
technology and this summary will be updated.
