Review of standardization activities : ECSS Objectives

More cost effective programmes

Promote clear and unambiguous communication in a form suitable for

quotation in legally binding documents

Organise and manage the development of a common and coherent single

set of standards

Promote the application of standards by encouraging organisations

developing space missions to use the ECSS standards

Achieve formal EN and ISO status for selected standards

Ensure that ECSS remains as the space sector standardization body for

Europe

Review of standardization activities : ECSS Process

Standards are developed according to an annual plan by specific working groups under the management of the relevant branch panel

Working groups, composed of subject experts from member organizations, produce draft standards

Draft standards are reviewed – by branch panel for technical content and consistency within the branch

– By executive for harmonization between branches

– by member organizations on for acceptability and applicability

After disposition and inclusion of comments, the standard is approved for publication by Steering Board

Standards are improved through usage and reviewed at least every 5 years

o ECSS – Standards o are project/product related standardso Tailoring possibleo Set of tools and methods can be proposed for alternative useo contain requirements for proper and safe function of a space systemo contain a lot of requirements which can be used by an authority for

authorization of space objects

o Some aspects, like use of nuclear power sources, are not addressed yet

o ECSS is not able (in the moment) to cover all requirements which may be necessary for an authorization (see Space Debris, Planetary protection…)

o Set Up of a ECSS Working Group for

1. Assessing the available ECSS requirements which are applicable to authorization of space activities

2. Identifying and proposing additional requirements needed for authorization purposes

o Technical criteria for space activity authorization neededo Estimated timeline up to 1 yearo Financing open
