Welcome to
NASA Technical Standards Program Website

The NASA Technical Standards Program is sponsored by the NASA Chief Engineer. The Program has as its primary mission the enhancement of NASA's engineering capabilities. This is being accomplished by providing technical standards required by the Agency through the support and adoption of non-Government standards, developing NASA standards where needed, and providing NASA-wide access to standards developed by national and international organizations. In addition, the value of standards provided is enhanced by integrating lessons learned, application notes, and having a standards update notification system for the Agency's users of standards. This Website provides access to these and related standards products. This unique NASA Integrated Technical Standards System is made available to help the Agency meet the future demands for timely, productive, and reliable space systems and contribute to improved cost. This thrust is being reinforced and expanded based on feedbacks from the engineering staff of NASA and its supporting contractors.

The Program's Website provides access to standards from over 100 standards developing organizations, including DOD and NASA. Its inventory of NASA Preferred Technical Standards consist of over 3500 standards approved/endorsed by the NASA Chief Engineer for Agencywide use. The Standards Update Notification System has provided over 3000 notifications of updates to standards users within the Agency.
