NASA/TM-4511, NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM: TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENT (CLIMATIC) CRITERIA GUIDELINES FOR USE IN AEROSPACE VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT (AUG 1993)., This document provides information relative to the natural environment for altitudes between 90 km and the surface of the Earth for the principal space vehicle development, operational, and launch locations and associated local and worldwide geographical areas. There is no intent to automatically change any references to previous documents in aerospace vehicle development contract scopes of work currently in effect by the issuance of the 1993 revision of this document. This document, which supersedes all editions of TM 82473, entitled "Terrestrial Environment (Climatic) Criteria Guidelines for Use in Aerospace Vehicle Development, 1982 Revision," is recommended for use in the development of design requirements/specifications for aerospace vehicles and associated equipment.
