scope:

Part 2 of Space engineering;Mechanical defines the mechanical engineering requirements for structural engineering. This Standard specifies the requirements to consider in all engineering aspects of structures: requirement definition and specification, design, development, verification, production, inservice and eventual disposal. The Standard applies to all general structural subsystem aspects of space including: launch vehicles, transfer vehicles, reentry vehicles, spacecraft, landing probes and rovers, sounding rockets, payloads and instruments, and structural parts of all subsystems. When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements defined in this Standard should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a project.
