SAWE-RP11B, MASS PROPERTIES CONTROL FOR SPACE VEHICLES, RECOMMENDED PRACTICE NUMBER 6 [PREPARED BY THE GOVERNMENT-INDUSTRY WORKSHOP, SOCIETY OF ALLIED WEIGHT ENGINEERS (SAWE)] (3 JUN 2000)., This recommended practice establishes uniform procedures for the control, determination, and documentation of mass properties of space vehicles and their subsystems and components. This document is derived from Reference 1 to serve as a continuing, maintained, industry recommended practice. As such, it contains some sections that are applicable primarily to United States Government space vehicle development and acquisition programs. Other sections are more general in nature, describing terminology, processes, and procedures that are generally accepted in the industry, and reflect sound mass properties engineering practices in the development and production of space vehicles. This recommended practice is, therefore, applicable for mass properties control of all space vehicle development and acquisition, government and private.

SAWE-RP6, STANDARD COORDINATE SYSTEMS FOR REPORTING THE MASS PROPERTIES OF FLIGHT VEHICLES, RECOMMENDED PRACTICE NUMBER 6 [PREPARED BY THE GOVERNMENT-INDUSTRY WORKSHOP, SOCIETY OF ALLIED WEIGHT ENGINEERS (SAWE)] (3 JAN 1995)., Anyone who has worked in the mass properties field for any length of time knows the problem: one person’s X is another person’s Y. Since the numerical values of the mass properties of an object are entirely dependent on the coordinate system chosen, it is essential that engineers include a precise definition of their coordinate system along with the mass properties data. To minimize confusion and to make the job of defining your coordinate system easier, the SAWE has adopted two standard coordinate systems: Standard "A" is used for aircraft or any other vehicle which "flies" Standard "S" is used for objects which orbit the earth The intent of this Standard is to reduce errors and costs associated with improperly defined coordinate axis systems. Although mass properties engineers will often be forced to use coordinate systems dictated by other parties, the SAWE strongly encourages you to use one of these standards whenever you have the freedom to choose your own coordinate system. The success of a standard of this type depends on its widespread use. You are encouraged to make copies of this standard and to attempt to influence flight dynamics engineers and others at an early stage of the design of a flight vehicle. It is very difficult to change coordinate definitions once a project in underway.

SAWE-RP8, ADOPTION NOTICE (18 JUL 2008)., SAWE-RP8, “Weight and Balance Data Reporting Forms for Aircraft (including Rotorcraft),” was adopted on 18 July 2005, for use by the DoD Adopting Activity: Commander, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Code 491000B120-3, Highway 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733- 5100. Copies of this recommended practice are available from the Society of Allied Weight Engineers, P.O. Box 60024, Terminal Annex, Los Angeles, CA 90060 or http://www.sawe.org/. SAWE-RP8 should be used instead of MIL-STD-1374, which was canceled on 18 July 2005.
