SPACE SHUTTLE SORTIE PAYLOAD CREW SAFETY AND SYSTEMS COMPATIBILITY CRITERIA VOLUME II - CREW SAFETY DESIGN AND VERIFICATION CRITERIA

摘要

The prime objective of this study was to identify the minimum, mandatory payload design and verification criteria necessary to insure that sortie payloads are safe with respect to the crew of the space shuttle system, distinguishing them from those criteria related to mission success, configuration choices or management approaches which are, therefore, dis¬cretionary to project management as variables in cost/benefit trades. Specific study objectives are tabulated in Table 1-1.nThe scope of this study is bounded by the sortie payload definition illustrated in Figure 1-1. These elements remain attached to the orbiter at all times and therefore do not include propulsion systems nor free flying satellites.
