Technical products were
4、 compromised by abandoning established processes, tools, and standards of performance. The intent was to catch up later, but the bow wave was growing. OSP implementation was impacted by a lack of shelf-ready standards and specifications for human-rated space flight. Additionally, OSP initially chose
5、 not to apply NASA preferred industry and Government standards common to high reliability space flight and ground systems.Additionally: a. Lack of Shelf Ready Specifications. Human-rated space flight is lacking shelf-ready standards and specifications in a number of areas.b. Limit Applicable Documen
6、ts. Limiting applicable documents to a controlled set will save future development contractors from tailoring applicable documents to what it thinks the government wants.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-c.

Once these standards sets are established for future development programs, they need to be organized in a central location, accessible to government and industry alike.Recommendation(s): Development of a minimum set of NASA-preferred design standards for human space flight systems (flight and g

The availability and application of up-to-date standards would simplify the procurement and development of spacecraft. The standards set might include industry, military and
9、 NASA unique standards. Applicable documents carry-over from previous programs fosters requirement ambiguities, overlap, and more significantly, requirements creep from water-falling of applicable documents. Once standards sets are established for future development programs, they need to be organiz
10、ed in a central location, accessible to government and industry alike. Doing so will assist in information transmission, and aide in expediting the acquisition process.
