NSTS 08307A, SPACE SHUTTLE CRITERIA FOR PRELOADED BOLTS. The methodology and criteria defined in this document shall be applicable when it is determined that a bolted joint requires preloading to successfully perform its function.
Generally, bolts that experience increased axial tensile loads as a result of the applied external load will require preloading to reduce cyclic stresses, prevent pressure leakage, prevent joint separation, or increase system stiffness. This methodology and criteria provides a set of minimum requirements which are adequate, but not overly conservative, so that the design and analysis of preloaded joints are addressed in a consistent and acceptable manner throughout the Space Shuttle Program.

NSTS/ISS 13830, PAYLOAD SAFETY REVIEW AND DATA SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS. This document contains information on the Space Shuttle system required by payload customers during the design definition, integration and flight phases for payload bay payloads. Payloads or experiments that will be using the middeck accommodations should refer to the Space Shuttle Program (SSP) Middeck Payload User’s Guide, NSTS TBD. The purpose of this document is to provide potential customers with information on Space Shuttle capability to deliver payloads into orbit and return them to Earth; on services provided to payload customers; and on the means by which payload customers can avail themselves of these services. Standard interface provisions between the Orbiter and payloads are also defined. With this information, payload planning and design studies can be undertaken incorporating known Shuttle capabilities and interface provisions. Additionally, information is provided on the process employed by the SSP to integrate individual payloads into the Shuttle, and the process of manifesting multiple payloads and providing for their integration into a Shuttle mission or flight. Additional information with hyperlinks to program documentation can be found at the Space Shuttle Payload Information System (SSPIS) web site.

NSTS/ISS 18798B, INTERPRETATIONS OF NSTS/ISS PAYLOAD SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. (Previously Titled NSTS 18798A). In implementing the payload safety review process, the Payload Safety Review Panel
(PSRP) has been required to make interpretations of particular safety requirements. NSTS 18798 was issued to compile these letters into one document. The recent
release of the International Space Station (ISS) Addendum to NSTS 1700.7B and other documentation changes dictate that this document be reissued and released as a joint
SSP/ISS document. These letters will be utilized by the PSRP in assessing all payloads for design compliance.
This release also deletes those letters made obsolete by changes in other documentation and reflects the applicability of each letter to the SSP and ISSP as
necessary. Major reductions in the number of interpretation letters were made possible
by the inclusion of their contents in other program documentation (see JSC 16979,
“Failure Modes and Fault Tolerance for Orbiter,” and NASA-STD-5003, “Fracture Control Requirements for Payloads Using the Space Transportation System,” which
replaces NHB 8071.1). This document is under joint control of both the SSP and ISSP and will be revised as
necessary to reflect current interpretations of payload safety requirements. Future
letters will contain an introductory paragraph clearly defining the program applicability. NSTS/ISS 18798 supersedes NSTS 18798 Revision A and has been organized to facilitate locating information by subject matter as shown in the topical index.
