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.
