This NASA Technical Standard establishes uniform practices in modeling and simulation to ensure essential requirements are applied to their design, development, and use while ensuring acceptance criteria are defined by the program/project and approved by the delegated NASA Technical Authority.

This Standard provides an approved set of requirements, recommendations, and criteria with which M&S may be developed, accepted, and used in support of NASA activities. As the M&S disciplines employed and application areas involved are broad, the common aspects of M&S across all NASA activities are addressed. The NASA-STD-7009B includes important structural changes from NASA-STD-7009A regarding application within the M&S life-cycle, specifically in assessments of credibility products within the development and use phases. The discipline-specific data and process definitions for analyses of a particular M&S should be obtained from relevant recommended practices.
