It contains basic instructions and references for several hazard analysis techniques. The techniques mentioned provide means to identify hazards and their controls in systems and their operations throughout the system life cycle. The document also includes instruction on doing Job Hazard Analysis. The document is a “how-to” document, rather than a requirements document. It provided more detailed instructions for meeting Chapter 111 of JPG 1700.1, “JSC Safety and Health Handbook,” current version.

JSC 20483 (REV. C), GUIDELINES FOR INVESTIGATORS PROPOSING HUMAN RESEARCH FOR SPACE FLIGHT AND RELATED INVESTIGATIONS (JSC COMMITTEE FOR THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS) (FEB 2004)., This document is intended to provide investigators with a thorough understanding of the role of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS). In addition, the process of submitting a research protocol for consideration and the methods of monitoring the research protocol for safety and compliance are defined in Appendix G. The authority and scope of the JSC CPHS derive from JPG 1107.1A (Appendix C), NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 7100.8D, and NASA Procedures and Guidelines (NPG) 7100.1 (Appendix D). The JSC CPHS charter, some definitions, and the ethical principles that guide the Committee are described below.

JSC 26943, GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF PAYLOAD FLIGHT SAFETY DATA PACKAGES AND HAZARD REPORTS FOR PAYLOADS USING THE SPACE SHUTTLE (17 FEB 1995)., The Payload Safety Review Panel (PSRP) is responsible for conducting safety reviews necessary to assure the implementation of the payload safety requirements defined in NSTS 1700.7, "Safety Policy and Requirements for Payloads Using the Space Transportation System." The scope of this responsibility encompasses an assessment of the design and flight operations of payloads and experiments prior to flight aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station Alpha (ISSA). NSTS 13830, "Implementation Procedure for NSTS Payloads System Safety Requirements," provides instructions to payload customers for preparation of data and conduct of the payload safety reviews required for the PSRP to assess compliance with NSTS 1700.7 payload safety requirements. While NSTS 13830 provides general instructions for the content of the Safety Assessment Report (SAR), it does not provide specific guidelines for the preparation of an acceptable SAR. Because of the wide variance in the completeness of data being provided to the PSRP in support of the safety review process, the PSRP conducted an internal review of the payload safety process to identify areas where additional guidance to payload customers could simplify preparation of the required data submittal and enhance the efficiency of the review process. This guidelines document is the result of one of the recommendations assessed during that review process. The purpose of this document is to assist payload customers in preparation of an SAR and related payload hazard reports (HRs). This document addresses only the flight safety review process. A separate SAR addressing additional requirements related to ground processing of payload equipment is required for the ground safety review process. This document is divided into two parts. Part I provides instructions and guidelines for the development of the SAR descriptive text. Part II contains instructions and guidelines for preparation of payload hazard reports and their required support data. Note that while the formal requirements documents identify the data submittal to the PSRP as an SAR, the more common designation of the Payload Safety Data Package (PSDP) has been used throughout this document.

JSC 27260E, DECAL PROCESS DOCUMENT AND CATALOG (18 FEB 2006). This document is in two parts: Part I: Decal Design and Production Facility (DDPF) Process This process is designed to provide the reader with a description of the Decal Design and Production Facility (DDPF) and its processes. This description will include the DDPF capabilities, processes and guidelines for those interested in initiating services. Part II: Decal Design and Production Facility Catalog The Decal Design and Production Facility Catalog is the standard flight decal catalog, complete with illustrations and part numbers. As hardware developers identify labels that have common applicability across end items, these labels can be evaluated for “standard decal classification” and entered into the Decal Catalog for general use. The hardware developer must have a label design that meets current, applicable labeling requirements, and submit it to the DDPF as a standard label candidate. Upon approval the label will be added to the Decal Catalog. NOTE: The advantage of identifying Flight decals in this catalog is that a released drawing is already in place, and the products will be flight certified. A JSC Form 733, Support Request, is all that is required to order decals and placards from the decal catalog. When ordering IMS (Inventory Management System) barcode labels, you will need to order through the MIDAS/BITS website. Further information on the website can be obtained by contacting the OC4/BITS Coordinator.

JSC 27296 (REV. A)/(LMSEAT 31947 (REV.A ), PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT (PRD)AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN (PMP) FOR THE ALPHA MAGNETIC SPECTROMETER (AMS) PAYLOAD INTEGRATION HARDWARE (PIH) (AUG 2000)., This document establishes the program, design, safety, reliability, quality assurance, test facility, integration test and shipping requirements for the AMS-02 payload. Planning and Integration Branch hardware development is limited to the Payload Integration Hardware (PIH) as described in this document. It does not address the internal AMS-02 Experiment configuration. It does address the configuration of the AMS-02 interfaces to the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. These requirements apply to new flight hardware and to modifications of previously flown flight hardware.

JSC 27301D, MATERIALS CONTROL PLAN FOR THE JSC FLIGHT HARDWARE (31 JAN 2002)., This Materials Control Plan defines the implementation of the materials and processes (M&P) requirements for all new flight hardware developed by the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC).

JSC 49894, ELECTRONIC PART SELECTION AND DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR LOW CRITICALITY SPACE FLIGHT PAYLOADS (5 NOV 2003). This document provides a brief overview of several EEE parts selection and design related issues that are critical to successful development of reliable space hardware. Many part technologies have weaknesses that can lead to component failures if the part is subjected to the launch and orbital environments. Guidelines are furnished herein for the selection and application of electronic parts in order to enhance hardware reliability and to aid individuals who might be new to the space flight hardware development processes. This document is intended to provide electronic component selection and design insight that is generally not found in other program materials. Reference materials listed in this text are among those considered as required reading for the hardware developer. The developer is encouraged to establish links to STS and ISS program personnel and to obtain materials referenced in this text as well as those recommended by program personnel, as this text is by no means a comprehensive coverage of flight hardware design considerations. For ISS payloads an excellent phasing document is SSP 57057 now approved as revision B. Key safety related policies and determinations are found in a collection identified as NSTS/ISS 18798 Revision B entitled Interpretations of NSTS/ISS Payload Safety Requirements.

JSC 62530 (13thEd), HISTORY OF ON-ORBIT SATELLITE FRAGMENTATIONS, The first edition of the History of On-Orbit Satellite Fragmentations was published by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) in August 1984, under the sponsorship of the NASA Johnson Space Center and with the cooperation of USAF Space Command and the US Army Ballistic Missile Command. The objective was to bring together information about the 75 satellites which had at that time experienced noticeable breakups. This update encompasses all known satellite fragmentations. This update is published by the NASA Johnson Space Center, Orbital Debris Program Office with support from Lockheed Martin Space Operations and Viking Science & Technology, Inc. Since the twelfth edition there have been 13 identified on-orbit breakups and five anomalous events. This activity has resulted in an approximately 7% increase in the historical cataloged debris count (since May 2001) which includes on-orbit and decayed objects, though less than 1% increase in the on-orbit debris count is observed. The lack of a significant increase is due both to higher Solar activity (and its concomitant increase in atmospheric drag for a given LEO orbit) and the implementation of debris mitigation measures on the part of launching agencies and organizations.
