This document does not cover critical-conditions-induced fatigue, creep and crack growths. Notwithstanding these limitations in scope, the results of stress calculations based on the requirements of this document are applicable to other critical condition analysis. This document is applicable to the determination of the stress/strain distribution and margins of safety in launch vehicles and spacecraft load-bearing elements design. Liquid propellant engine structures, solid propellant engine nozzles and the solid propellant itself are not covered, but liquid propellant tanks, pressure vessels and solid propellant cases are within the scope of this document. In accordance with the requirements of this document, the models, methods and procedures for stress calculation can also be applicable to the displacements and deformation calculation, as well as the calculation of loads, applied to substructures and structural elements under consideration.

This document specifies four standard message formats for use in transferring spacecraft orbit information between space agencies and commercial or governmental spacecraft operators: The Orbit Parameter Message (OPM), the Orbit Mean-Elements Message (OMM), the Orbit Ephemeris Message (OEM), and the Orbit Comprehensive Message (OCM). Such exchanges are used for: a) pre-flight planning for tracking or navigation support; b) scheduling tracking support; c) carrying out tracking operations (sometimes called metric predicts); d) performing orbit comparisons; e) carrying out navigation operations such as orbit propagation and orbit reconstruction; f) assessing mutual physical and electromagnetic interference among satellites orbiting the same celestial body (primarily Earth, Moon, and Mars at present); g) performing orbit conjunction (collision avoidance) studies; and h) developing and executing collaborative maneuvers to mitigate interference or enhance mutual operations. This document includes sets of requirements and criteria that the message formats have been designed to meet. For exchanges in which these requirements do not capture the needs of the participating agencies and satellite operators, another mechanism may be selected. This document is an international standard published under the auspices of CCSDS and International Standards Organization (ISO) Technical Committee 20, Subcommittee 13, developed jointly and in concert with the ISO TC20/SC14. As such, this CCSDS standard is also properly labeled as ISO 26900. The recommended Orbit Data Message format is ASCII (reference REF R_ISO_IEC_8859_1_1998 \h [4] 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000001600000052005F00490053004F005F004900450043005F0038003800350039005F0031005F0031003900390038000000 ).

This document defines the primary space debris mitigation requirements applicable to all elements of systems launched into, or passing through, near-Earth space, including launch vehicle orbital stages, operating spacecraft and any objects released as part of normal operations or disposal actions.
The requirements contained in this document are intended to reduce the growth of space debris by ensuring that spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages are designed, operated and disposed of in a manner that prevents them from generating debris throughout their orbital lifetime.
This document is the top-level standard in a family of standards addressing debris mitigation. It will be the main interface for the user, bridging between the primary debris mitigation requirements and the lower-level implementation standards that will ensure compliance.
This document does not cover launch phase safety for which specific rules are defined elsewhere.

This standard specifies a comprehensive set of engineering requirements for the
successful development of digital, analogue and mixed analogue-digital signal
custom designed integrated circuits, such as application specific integrated
circuits (ASICs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and Intellectual
Property Cores (IP Cores), from now on referred to with the single and generic
term DEVICEs.
Microelectronics systems created by more than one DEVICE die but that are
interconnected and packaged together as a single DEVICE are not considered
single monolithic DEVICEs. However ECSS-ST-20-40 is to be applied to (a) the
development of each individual monolithic die, (b) also for their integration onto
a multi-die single DEVICE considering those dice as IP Cores.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constraints of a
space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00. A pre-tailoring based on the
actual DEVICE type and criticality category of the DEVICE is addressed in
clause 5.1.2.
This standard does not cover requirements for the selection, control, procurement
or usage of DEVICEs for space projects nor DEVICE ESCC qualification
requirements, as those requirements are covered by ECSS-Q-ST-60C EEE
components standard and the ESCC generic specification No. 9000 respectively.
Nevertheless, this standard contemplates the possibility for the DEVICE to
undergo ESCC qualification after the DEVICE customer acceptance as an ECSS
qualified DEVICE, and thus a DEVICE ESCC Detail Specification and DEVICE
Radiation Test Plan and Report are optional expected outputs.

Procurement costs are typically highest for class 1 and lowest for class 3. Mitigation and other engineering measures may decrease the total cost of ownership differences between the three classes. The project objectives, definition and constraints determine which class or classes of components are appropriate to be utilised within the system and subsystems.

This document describes the main magnetospheric large-scale current systems and the magnetic field in the Earth's magnetosphere and provides the main requirements to the model of the magnetospheric magnetic field. Ionospheric currents are not considered in this document. The document also provides a working example of the model and establishes the parameters of magnetospheric large-scale current systems which are changing in accordance with conditions in the space environment. The document can be used to develop the new models of magnetospheric magnetic field. Such models are useful in investigating physical processes in the Earth's magnetosphere as well as in calculations, developing, testing and estimating the results of exploitation of spacecrafts and other equipment operating in the space environment.

This Standard specifies the requirements for the development of the end­to­end data communications system for spacecraft.
Specifically, this standard specifies:
- The terminology to be used for space communication systems engineering.
- The activities to be performed as part of the space communication system engineering process, in accordance with the ECSS-E-ST-10 standard.
- Specific requirements on space communication systems in respect of functionality and performance.
The communications links covered by this Standard are the space­to­ground and space­to­space links used during spacecraft operations, and the communications links to the spacecraft used during the assembly, integration and test, and operational phases.
Spacecraft end­to­end communication systems comprise components in three distinct domains, namely the ground network, the space link, and the space network. This Standard covers the components of the space link and space network in detail. However, this Standard only covers those aspects of the ground network that are necessary for the provision of the end­to­end communication services.
NOTE Other aspects of the ground network are covered in ECSS-E ST 70.
This Standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S ST 00.
