scope:

NEN-EN 16603-35-01 defines the regulatory aspects applicable to elements and processes for liquid, including cold gas, and electrical propulsion for spacecraft. It specifies the activities to be performed in the engineering of such propulsion systems, their applicability, and defines the requirements for the engineering aspects: functional, interfaces, environmental, design, quality factors, operational and verification. General requirements applying to all type of Propulsion Systems Engineering are defined in ECSS-E-ST-35. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.
