SSP 57001C, PRESSURIZED PAYLOADS HARDWARE INTERFACE CONTROL DOCUMENT (ICD) TEMPLATE

SSP 57001C, PRESSURIZED PAYLOADS HARDWARE INTERFACE CONTROL DOCUMENT (ICD) TEMPLATE. This Interface Control Document (ICD) Template is the exclusive document used by National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA), the European Space Agency (ESA), National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), and the NASA payload developer to identify and establish the pressurized payload physical / functional interfaces and to control the designs of these pressurized payload interfaces. This document contains the design implementation of the interface requirements in the Pressurized Payloads Interface Requirements Document (IRD), SSP 57000. Both sides of the interface are described and includes mechanical, structural, electrical, avionics, and functional interfaces. The Space Station Pressurized Payloads ICD Template contains an introduction, a list of applicable documents, subsections on general and detailed interfaces, along with appendices containing acronyms, and definitions. This document defines and controls required interfaces for compatibility with the International Space Station (ISS). This document is to be used as a template for the development of unique Pressurized Payload ICDs for NASA payloads which are to interface with the MPLM, US Laboratory, Attached Pressurized Module, Japanese Experiment Module, and the Centrifuge Accommodations Module. The applicability of these interfaces will depend upon the characteristics of the integrated rack payloads as specified in the individual Payload Integration Agreement (PIA). The interfaces outlined in this document are mandatory and may not be violated unless specifically agreed upon by the Multilateral Payloads Control Board (MPCB). This document is under the control of the MPCB, and changes or revisions will be approved by the MPCB.
