BS ISO 17689:2015 pdf download.Space systems — Interface control documents between ground systems, ground support equipment and launch vehicle with payload
1 Scope
This International Standard is applied for organizations developing ground support equipment and also for operators performing space activity. Interface control documents format defined here does not contain the descriptions regarding various properties of ground support equipment (i.e. performance, functions or endurance to launch mechanical environment or quality assurance provisions) which are defined in technical specifications. Control of interfaces, independently of its frequency or depth, cannot replace stages of parameters definition of high-quality production and development of technical requirements of project, design and development. Interfaces control is used as a control process that can provide necessary verification of successful finishing of design at a stated in contract period. This International Standard establishes basic requirements for interface control documents (ICD) writing and interface control procedures for the following items included in launch system: payload, launch vehicle, ground support equipment (according to ISO 14625:2007) and launch site (buildings with technical systems). Notably
a) ICD between payload and launch vehicle (according to ISO 15863:2003),
b) ICD between ground support equipment and payload (this International Standard),
c) ICD between ground support equipment and launch vehicle (this International Standard),
d) ICD between items of ground support equipment (this International Standard), and
e) ICD between ground support equipment and launch site (this International Standard).
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1 interface control document for ground support equipment
document which describes mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, electric and other parameters of interfaces between ground support equipment and launch vehicle, items of ground support equipment, ground support equipment and launch site objects (building constructions with technical systems), and which is used to control these parameters
2.2 ground support equipment
units and systems necessary for the prelaunch operations and operations for launch of payload and launch vehicle (rocket fuelling systems, gas supply systems, thermostating systems, launch pad, units for LV installation on launch pad, ground support equipment control systems, etc.)
3 General
3.1 ICD for ground support equipment is developed as separate document for each part included in launch system: payload, launch vehicle, items of ground support equipment, launch site (building constructions with technical systems):
a) ICD between ground support equipment and payload (this International Standard);
b) ICD between ground support equipment and launch vehicle (this International Standard);
c) ICD between items of ground support equipment (this International Standard);
d) ICD between ground support equipment and launch site (this International Standard).
The leading enterprise-developer of ground support equipment is responsible for the development of a list of ICD for this equipment.
The leading enterprise-developer of a launch site supervises types, quantity and location of interfaces of ground support equipment items which were developed by the enterprises according to ICD for items.
The developers of items of a launch site develop ICD and coordinate them with other enterprises which are developers of the items which are interfaced.
