This web page options worldwide deep area requirements adopted by NASA’s Moon to Mars program and for Gateway, NASA’s lunar-orbiting outpost.
Worldwide Deep House Requirements
These worldwide interoperability requirements — developed in collaboration with the worldwide group — outline interfaces and environments to facilitate cooperative deep area exploration endeavors. These requirements concentrate on precedence subjects for the early phases of exploration planning; they don’t seem to be meant to dictate design options past interfaces. Stakeholders from the worldwide spaceflight group could present feedback or suggestions on these requirements via the shape on the backside of this web page.
Moon to Mars Requirements
Communications
Revision: B – April 2024 | The communications customary defines the practical, interface and efficiency requirements essential to help interoperable and suitable communications between spacecraft, floor infrastructure, different area and floor autos. (Adopted by the company in 2024 via the Structure Idea Assessment course of.)
Gateway Requirements
Avionics
Revision: Baseline – March 2019 | The avionics customary offers fundamental frequent design parameters that enable builders to independently design suitable Avionics techniques. Specifies information hyperlink protocols and bodily layer choices which may be used to architect the interfaces between each spacecraft subsystems and autos themselves.
Docking
Revision: F – July 2022 | The Worldwide Docking System Customary (IDSS) Interface Definition Doc (IDD)* Establishes an ordinary docking interface to allow collaborative endeavors between the worldwide area fairing group whereas additionally supporting doable crew rescue operations.
ECLSS
Revision: Baseline – March 2019 | The Environmental Management and Life Help Techniques (ECLSS) customary offers fundamental frequent design efficiency parameters to permit builders to independently develop suitable life help techniques.
Energy
Revision: A – July 2022 | The facility customary defines bus voltage, energy high quality, and grounding approaches to make sure commonality, reliability, interchangeability, and interoperability for electrical load functions between area software energy techniques.
Rendezvous
Revision: Baseline – March 2019 | The rendezvous customary offers fundamental frequent design parameters to permit builders to independently design suitable rendezvous operations.
Robotics
Revision: Baseline – March 2019 | The robotics customary offers a set of frequent design parameters to permit module, visiting car, and on-orbit relocatable or replaceable unit suppliers to design robotic system suitable parts.
Thermal
Revision: Baseline – August 2019 | The thermal customary paperwork fluids to be employed in related lively exterior and/or inside coolant loops, and necessities for coldplates that interface on to these coolant loops.
Software program
Revision: Baseline – September 2020 | The software program customary offers fundamental information interfaces that enable builders to independently design suitable cislunar and deep area spacecraft software program techniques.
