Document Scope
This document provides guidance in the critical areas used in the assessment of an inflatable
design, its materials, and component, sub-component, and module testing. Guidance is also
provided on the instrumentation and analysis that support the development and evaluation of
crewed softgoods space structure certification. This document is intended to be broadly applicable
to any habitable softgoods structure, but due to the breadth of possible architectures,
supplementary testing or data may be necessary to support a specific mission application and/or
environment. Due to the current lack of long-term flight data for softgoods inflatables used as
primary structure on a crewed spacecraft, this document is expected to be updated periodically
with new information and revised recommendations as experience is gained through use of these
structures in service.
