Description / Abstract:
Scope: This specification establishes environmental criteria for
designing Aerospace Ground
Equipment (AGE) in support of space systems. The test levels in this
specification have been
elevated to compensate for absence of combined environments during
test, and to allow for
variations in equipment and operating conditions. Environmental
requirements are summarized in
Table 1.
Classification of Environments: Environments identified in this
specification are defined in
section 3. (Definitions) and classified as follows:
(a) Transportation, Handling, and Storage Environments (Nonoperating)
(1) Controlled
(2) Uncontrolled
(b) Sheltered Environments (Operating)
(1) Controlled
(2) Uncontrolled
(e) Unsheltered Environments (Operating)
(1) Unexposed to Booster Blast
(2) Exposed to Booster Blast
(d) Semisheltered Environments (Operating)
(i) Sheltered and Uncontrolled
(2) Unsheltered
