NASA-STD-P023 (DRAFT), NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: ELECTRICAL BONDING FOR NASA LAUNCH VEHICLES, SPACECRAFT, PAYLOADS AND FLIGHT EQUIPMENT (17 AUG 2001)

NASA-STD-P023 (DRAFT), NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: ELECTRICAL BONDING FOR NASA LAUNCH VEHICLES, SPACECRAFT, PAYLOADS AND FLIGHT EQUIPMENT (17 AUG 2001)., This standard is approved for use by NASA Headquarters and all NASA Centers and is intended to provide a common framework for consistent practices across NASA programs. MIL-B-5087B, Bonding, Electrical, and Lightning Protection, For Aerospace Systems had been the basic bonding standard for years before its cancellation by the military. MIL-STD-464, Interface Standard for Systems Electromagnetic Environmental Effects Requirements, superseded MIL-B-5087B for military projects. Electrical bonding requirements make up only a small section of MIL-STD-464, and MIL-STD-464 is not applicable for NASA projects. The intent of this NASA standard is to provide stand-alone requirements and to provide enough data to help modify requirements or to allow waivers if needed. Requests for information, corrections, or additions to this standard should be directed to the Electromagnetic Environmental Effects Team, ED44, MSFC, AL 35812. Requests for general information concerning NASA Technical Standards should be sent to the NASA Technical Program Standards Office, ED41 MSFC, AL 35812, (telephone 205-544-2448).
