Orbiting Vehicle Nonmetallic Materials Combustion and Atmospheric Contaminant Control Standard for the MOL Orbiting Laboratory Program

Abstract

This specification delineates the conditions and requirements for use of non-metallic materials in the MOL Orbiting Vehicle with respect to the flammability and toxicity hazards. The objective is to provide a high degree of safety with due regard to practical limitations and mission objectives. The criteria, test methods, and controls described pertain only to the flammability and toxicity hazards. Functional and other materials requirements are not included. Requirements for control of materials are delineated. This specification does not include considerations for propellants and pyrotechnics. It should be noted that the requirements are specified in terms of the most severe environment in which the material is intended to be used.
