NASA-STD-(I)-5005C, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD (INTERIM): STANDARD FOR THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (20 JUL 2007)

NASA-STD-(I)-5005C, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD (INTERIM): STANDARD FOR THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (20 JUL 2007)., This Interim Technical Standard is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide uniform engineering and technical requirements for processes, procedures, practices, and methods to meet urgent program and project technical needs. This interim standard has the consensus of the developing Technical Working Group but does not have Agency-wide concurrence required for a NASA Technical Standard. This interim standard may be cited in contract, program, and other Agency documents as a technical requirement. Mandatory requirements are indicated by the word “shall.” This interim standard establishes minimum requirements and engineering best practices for design and development of ground systems and equipment intended for use in preparing space flight systems for flight after acceptance by the Government. This standard does not apply to facilities or equipment used in the manufacturing of space flight systems. Individual provisions of this interim standard should be and are intended to be tailored (i.e., modified or deleted) by contract or program specifications to meet specific program, project, and Center needs and constraints based on a criticality review by Safety and Mission Assurance (S&MA) according to program and Center procedures.
