*FOREWORD
NASA experience has indicated a need for uniform design criteria for space vehicles.
Accordingly, criteria ste being developed in the following areas of technolagy:
ince and Control
Chemical Propulsion
Individual components will be issued as separate monographs as soon as they are completed,
A list of all previously issued monographs in this series ean be found on the Last paze of this
publication,
‘These monographs are to be regarded as guides to design and ot as NASA requirements,
except as may’ be specified in formal project specifications. It is expected, however. that the
criteria scetions of these documents, revised as experience may indicate to be desirable,
eventually will become uniform design requirements for NASA space vehicles.
This monograph was prepared under the cognizance of the Goddard Space Flight Center
(GSFC) with Scott A. Mills and John J, Sweeney as program coordinators, Mark Harris and
Robert Lyle of Exotech Incorporated, Washington, D.C., were the principal authors. Major
contributions were made by: Earl Clifford of Exotech and Robert Fischell of the Applied
-Phy-sies Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, An Advisory Panel provided guidance in
Uetermining the monograph's scope and assuring its technical validity. The following
