Space Systems - Flight Pressurized Systems

Abstract

This document establishes the baseline requirements for the design, fabrication, assembly, installation, test, inspection, operation, and maintenance of pressure systems used in spacecraft and launch vehicles. It deals primarily with the interfaces between the pressure vessel(s), or pressurized structures, and the corresponding pressure components within a specific pressure system; and interfaces between a pressure system and other spacecraft or launch vehicle systems. These requirements, when implemented on a specific pressure system, will assure a high level of confidence in achieving safe and reliable operation.
