NASA-STD-5017 Design and Development Requirements for Mechanisms

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This Technical Standard approved by NASA June 13, 2006. 30 p. The purpose of this standard is to establish common design and development requirements across National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Centers for the design of aerospace mechanisms whose correct operation is required for safety or program success. Collecting the requirements in a NASA standard allows each NASA program to rely upon an established set of practices that have proved heritage and that have been developed from lessons learned across a spectrum of design applications. This standard is designed to be applied to flight mechanisms that are designed, built, or acquired by or for NASA, though it may also serve as a useful guidance document for other systems such as ground support equipment (GSE).
