ISO 29771: Space Systems — Materials

Material selection, control, environmental durability and safety for space hardware Material selection for spacecraft involves evaluating over 200 distinct properties including mechanical, thermal, electrical, outgassing, radiation resistance, and atomic oxygen erosion yield. A single wrong choice can lead to catastrophic…

ISO 29768: Space Systems — Structures

Structural engineering requirements for space vehicle primary and secondary structures The primary structure of a spacecraft typically represents 18–25% of the total launch mass. Every kilogram of structure saved translates directly into increased payload mass or reduced propellant requirements for…

ISO 29769: Space Systems — Mechanisms

Design, tribology, actuation and reliability of space mechanisms Space mechanisms are the most failure-prone subsystem on spacecraft, accounting for approximately 20–25% of all in-orbit anomalies. A single stuck mechanism can render a multi-billion dollar mission completely useless. 1. Mechanism Classification…

ISO 29770: Space Systems — EEE Parts

Selection, qualification, procurement and management of electrical electronic and electromechanical parts for spacecraft EEE Parts (Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical components) account for 60–80% of all spacecraft anomalies. A single counterfeit part or latent manufacturing defect can compromise a mission costing…

ISO 29764 — Space systems — Thermal control

ISO Standard — Space systems — Thermal control — Engineering Technical Article 1. Overview of ISO 29764 ISO 29764 defines thermal control requirements for space systems, covering passive and active thermal management, material thermophysical properties, analysis verification, and acceptance testing.…
