Description
This is a Special Notice and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will take action in this matter.
Background:
Previous major NASA human rated spaceflight programs, such as Apollo, Space Shuttle, ISS, etc., have typically used detailed program-specific statements of work and end-item specifications to relay many of the critical propulsion system design, analysis, inspection, and test requirements that control catastrophic hazards. As a result, these documents were the only place where many propulsion system requirements resided. In addition, those documents do not necessarily capture requirements that are based on recent lessons learned related to potential catastrophic hazards that have been uncovered late in the development or flight operational phase of a program, which results in impacts to safety, launch delays, and costs. It is in the interest of this situation, that a new comprehensive human-rated spacecraft propulsion system standard, generically applicable to many different types of spacecraft missions, has been identified as a need.
To support this goal, existing NASA, military, and other aerospace industry technical standards have been reviewed and assessed for applicability and gaps related to propulsion system requirements, and for the capture of lessons learned. In addition, inputs from propulsion system subject matter experts across the agency were obtained. This information was then used to develop a comprehensive human-rated spacecraft propulsion system standard that imposes applicable existing standards, clarifies points of confusion, resolves conflicts, and identifies new requirements needed to fill specific gaps necessary to control catastrophic hazards in propulsions systems.
The recent shift toward working with multiple commercial partners has proven beneficial to human spaceflight overall. This new propulsion system...
