scope:

PURPOSE. This procedure defines the process for Engineering Peer Reviews of applicable Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) products.

APPLICABILITY. This procedure applies to all systems development products within the scope of the GSFC Quality Management System. The EPR process applies to project/product formulation and implementation subprocesses. The formal peer review process defined in this GPG does not apply to sounding rockets, balloons, and aircraft or their associated instruments/payloads. Small Shuttle Payloads (Hitchhiker, Space Experiment Module, and Get-away-Specials) are also excluded. However, product managers for these types of missions shall define and implement an effective peer review process commensurate with the level of risk associated with their specific missions.
