This plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of NHB 8071.1, Fracture Control Plan Requirements for Payloads Using the National Space Transportation System (NSTS) and paragraph 208 of NHB 1700.7B, Safety Policy and Requirements for Payloads Using the STS>

NASA GSFC PREFERRED PARTS LIST PPL-21 (w/ NOTICE 1, MAY 1996)., This GSFC Preferred Parts List, PPL-21, supersedes PPL-20 (Rev. 1)., The Goddard Space Flight Center Preferred Parts List, PPL-21, supersedes PPL-20, Revision 1. This latest edition of the PPL is a departure from previous issues in that it combines and updates information from MIL-STD-975 (NASA Standard Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical {EEE} Parts List) and PPL-20 to create a “stand alone” document. It also incorporates the screening requirements from GSFC Parts Branch Instruction 311-INST-001 (Instructions for EEE Parts Selection, Screening, and Qualification) to provide detailed Grade 1 and Grade 2 screening requirements for all part categories. This endeavor has more than doubled the page count of the PPL, but the user no longer needs to consult MIL-STD-975 to obtain GSFC parts information. Military specifications and QPLs still must be consulted for some specific military part numbers and part availability.

NASA GSFC, PEM GUIDELINES FOR SCREENING AND QUALIFICATION FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS (JAN 1997)., Plastic Encapsulated Microcircuits (PEMs) offer advantages of size, weight, cost, and availability. The traditional barrier to their use in highly reliable systems has been their perceived lower reliability in space and aerospace applications. In spite of this perception, the space and aerospace electronics industries have begun to reconsider the use of PEMs due to 1) improvements in reliability of PEMs, as evidenced by their use in the automotive industry; 2) improved methods of accelerated testing and deterministic reliability prediction; 3) awareness that factors other than “part reliability” are more important than previously thought; and 4) concerns that many hermetic part types may not be available for future designs of space systems. For high-reliability applications, PEMs cannot be implemented in product designs and parts lists simply by replacing military part numbers with their commercial counterparts. The entire system of parts specifications, qualification, screening, and control needs to be modified to accommodate the unique features of PEMs. The objective of these Qualification and Screening Guidelines is to ensure that the PEM devices are procured and tested appropriately to assure reliable performance in space applications.

NASA GSFC, SEL-81-305, RECOMMENDED APPROACH TO SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT (REV. 3) (JUN 1992)., This document presents guidelines for an organized, disciplined approach to software development that is based on studies conducted by the Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) since 1976.

NASA GSFC-311-QPLD-009, QUALIFIED PARTS LIST (QPL) DIRECTORY (28 APR 2005)., Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has prepared this Qualified Parts List Directory (QPLD) for procurement of products governed by the NASA/GSFC specifications cited herein. These specifications are prepared whenever an acceptable part for space cannot be procured to military or other government-controlled specifications. Listing of products in this QPLD is contingent on satisfying the qualification requirements in the latest issue of the applicable GSFC procurement specification. Listing of a product is not intended to and does not connote endorsement of the product by NASA. This list is subject to change without notice; revision or amendment of this list will be made as necessary. The listing of a product does not release the supplier from compliance with the specification’s requirements.

NASA GSFC-CM-001, GFSC CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT MANUAL (3 MAY 2007)., This document is the first release of GSFC-CM-001, which is designed to eventually contain GSFC’s detailed requirements for configuration management. It is implemented by GID 1410.1 and shall be updated as defined therein. This first version is limited in content to: 1. The high-priority changes determined to be necessary as a result of the Genesis failure; and 2. The process for assignment of GSFC drawing numbers, as previously described in 500-PG- 8700.2.3. This elevates the drawing number assignment process to a Center-level requirement. This manual implements a key recommendation of the GSFC Configuration Management Process Evaluation Team: Revise and strengthen GPR 1410.2 to become a top-level requirements document for the Center. Remove the specific details of configuration management, placing them in a new Configuration Management Manual. This manual will continue to evolve, and changes to it will be controlled by a Configuration Change Board chaired by Code 400. Changes will be based on evolving Center and Agency requirements and continual improvement.
