# Flight test

At this point, you should have successfully completed the hardware and software integration of the VPS, as well as a bench test. Theseus recommends running several test flights prior to full operational deployment of the VPS.

Contact the Theseus team prior to executing test flights. They will assist and confirm validity at each step of the process.
