Air Force Space Command. Space and Missile Systems Center Standard. Quality Assurance for Space and Launch Vehicles

Abstract

Because of the highly complex nature of satellites and launch vehicles, and the fact that they are usually not repairable on orbit, stringent quality and reliability requirements are levied on contractors to assure that these requirements can be met through the product s intended lifecycle. This document delineates the quality system requirements over and above the aerospace industry quality standard, SAE AS 9100, deemed necessary for satellite and launch vehicle systems. As such, it is includes all the basic requirements of AS 9100. A matrix showing which paragraphs of this TOR correspond to the requirements of AS 9100 is included as Attachment 1.
