This document is not applicable to Shuttle, Soyuz, Progress, and their modifications. This document is also not applicable to the ISS modules. 􏰀 This document defines performance and interface requirements that are not part of the System Specification for the International Space Station, SSP 41000, and are specific to Visiting Vehicles. The requirements in this document are subordinate to the Concept of Operations and Utilization (COU) Principles, SSP 50011, VOL. 1. The responsibility for developing space transportation systems and for making them technically and operationally compatible with the Space Station rests on the provider of the space transportation system. While attached to the ISS, or situated in a proximity of the station and requires ISS support, a VV is considered to be part of the on-orbit Space Station and shall be compatible with the requirements of the System Specification for the International Space Station, SSP 41000 and/or associated Segment Specifications. Functional decomposition and allocation of the requirements to the specific VV will be performed and approved by the ISS Program in the development of the VV specification.
