NASA-STD-5005C, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: STANDARD FOR THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (13 MAR 2009)

NASA-STD-5005C, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: STANDARD FOR THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (13 MAR 2009)., This Standard is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide uniform engineering and technical requirements for processes, procedures, practices, and methods that have been endorsed as standard for NASA programs and projects, including requirements for selection, application, and design criteria of an item. This Standard is approved for use by NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers. This Standard establishes minimum requirements and engineering best practices for design and development of ground systems and equipment intended for use in preparing space flight systems for flight after acceptance by the Government. This Standard does not apply to facilities or equipment used in the manufacturing of space flight systems. Individual provisions of this Standard should be and are intended to be tailored (i.e., modified or deleted) by contract or program specifications to meet specific program, project, and Center needs and constraints based on a criticality review by Safety and Mission Assurance (S&MA) according to program and Center procedures.
