ECSS-E-ST-33-01C, SPACE ENGINEERING: MECHANISMS (06-MAR-2009)., This document has been established to provide mechanism engineering teams with a set of requirements, design rules and guidelines based on the state of the art knowledge and experience in the field of space mechanisms. The use of this document helps mechanisms developers to establish generic mechanisms designs and to derive application specific requirements. The main objectives are to achieve reliable operation of space mechanisms in orbit and to prevent anomalies during the development phase influencing schedule and cost efficiency of space programmes.
