Purpose This NASA Technical Handbook provides guidance for establishing NASA's digital engineering acquisition framework that includes Data Requirements Descriptions (DRDs) and contractual language for the Statement of Work (SOW) in support of a digital engineering environment (DEE)....
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Standard is to define the scope of work and deliverables for architects and engineers (A-E) using Building Information Modeling (BIM) on NASA projects delivered in compliance with NPR 8820.2, NASA Facility Project Requirements,...
Purpose This NASA Technical Standard defines the methodologies, practices, and requirements for the conduct of load analyses for payloads and spacecraft and describes accepted engineering practices for NASA programs and projects. This NASA Technical Standard also...
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Standard is to establish Agency-level protection requirements to ensure NASA missions are resilient to purposeful threats. Applicability This NASA Technical Standard is applicable to all NASA programs and projects....
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Handbook is to provide technical information, clarification, examples, processes, and techniques to help institute good modeling and simulation practices in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). As a...
The scope of this NASA Technical Standard is restricted to human spaceflight missions and includes activities affecting crew in all phases of the life cycle (design, development, test, operations, maintenance), both inside and outside the spacecraft in space and on lunar and planetary...
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Standard is to provide an Agency-wide basis from which test programs and procedures are developed for NASA vehicles, subsystems and their components, and payloads. This NASA Technical Standard defines a standard set of...
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Standard is to specify requirements for design and analysis of threaded fastening systems in NASA spaceflight hardware. Applicability This NASA Technical Standard is applicable to all NASA programs and projects....
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Standard is to establish the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) requirements for any NASA system or component, flight or ground, where fracture control is a requirement. This NASA Technical Standard defines the primary...
Purpose This NASA Technical Handbook compiles into a single volume safety, reliability, maintainability, and quality assurance and risk management terms defined and used in NASA safety and mission assurance directives and standards. The purpose of this handbook is to support...
The information in this NASA Technical Handbook provides an overview of present-day (2017) understanding of the various plasma interactions that can result when a high-voltage system is operated in the Earth's ionosphere, references common design practices that have exacerbated plasma...
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Handbook is to present the rationale which underlays the requirements contained in NASA-STD-4009A, Space Telecommunications Radio System (STRS) Architecture Standard, the companion document to this NASA Technical Handbook...
This NASA Technical Standard describes the Space Telecommunications Radio System (STRS) architecture for software-defined radios (SDRs), an open architecture for NASA space and ground radios. STRS provides a common, consistent framework to abstract the application software from...
Purpose The purpose of this NASA Technical Standard is to provide an Agency-wide basis from which test programs are developed for NASA payloads. The document defines a standard set of flight hardware test requirements which provide the necessary verification of design adequacy...
The term "vibroacoustics" is defined as an environment induced by high-intensity acoustic noise associated with various segments of the flight profile. Vibroacoustics manifests itself throughout the payload in the form of transmitted acoustic excitation and as structure-borne random vibration. This...
