scope:

This standard establishes test methods for determining the capability of ground support equipment (GSE) and other facility hardware to function when exposed to the natural and induced environments peculiar to the prelaunch and launch conditions at KSC. The test methods contained herein specify conditions obtainable in the laboratory that will give test results similar to actual service conditions. This standard provides requirements and guidelines for the preparation of detailed test procedures and for the preparation of the environmental test portions of design specifications. This standard provides the environmental test methods that are applicable for qualification of components in accordance with KSC-STD-G-0003, Launch Support and Facility Components, Qualification of, Standard for. Test requirements and conditions may be tailored according to program and project requirements.
