Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide a general FCP for implementation of Fracture Control programs on NASA/JSC controlled space-flight hardware to meet the requirements specified in NASA-STD-5019. This plan will also meets the intent of NASA-STD-5007, NASA-STD-5003, SSP 30558C, and SSP 52005C.

Applicability

This plan is applicable to all JSC controlled space-flight hardware that is the responsibility of NASA/JSC. Other NASA centers or agencies may adopt this plan with the concurrence of the responsible Fracture Control group.

Additionally, all hardware that deviates from the certified design configuration will require an update to the existing Fracture Control analysis and classification in accordance with this FCP.
