Document Scope
Document Scope
This document is intended to cover analyses representing all phases of spaceflight hardware life
cycles, including pre-flight, post-flight, and abort activities. The requirements herein represent
the minimum set of conditions necessary to ensure proper identification of bounding loads and
loading conditions and, in turn, contribute to a structural design solution which is adequate to
maintain structural integrity and the required degree of functionality during all phases of the
expected hardware life cycle. However, this document cannot cover all possible designs and
situations, so it is not a substitute for sound engineering judgment in design, analysis, and test.
The definition of natural environments to be used for design loads derivation is out of scope of
this document.
