NASA-STD-5018, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: STRENGTH DESIGN AND VERIFICATION CRITERIA FOR GLASS, CERAMICS, AND WINDOWS IN HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT APPLICATIONS (12-AUG-2011)
NASA-STD-5018, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: STRENGTH DESIGN AND VERIFICATION CRITERIA FOR GLASS, CERAMICS, AND WINDOWS IN
HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT APPLICATIONS (12-AUG-2011)., The purpose of this Standard is to specify the minimum structural design requirements for the
design, development, and verification of windows, glass, and ceramic structure included in
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) vehicles/elements, habitats, space suits,
all orbital support equipment (OSE), and flight support equipment (FSE). Although this
Standard primarily addresses structural design requirements for glass and ceramics, it also
includes design and verification requirements for non-structural glass and ceramic components.
Optical performance and radiation specifications are not provided in this document.
