FOREWORD
This NASA Technical Standard is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide uniform engineering and technical requirements for processes, procedures, practices, and methods endorsed as standard for NASA programs and projects, including technical requirements for selection, application, and design criteria of an item. This NASA Technical Standard provides uniform technical requirements for the design, selection, and application of hardware, software, processes, procedures, practices, and methods for human-rated systems.
This NASA Technical Standard is approved for use by NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers and Facilities, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers, and applicable technical requirements may be cited in contract, program, and other Agency documents. It may also apply to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (A Federally Funded Research and Development Center [FFRDC]), other contractors, recipients of grants and cooperative agreements, and parties to other agreements only to the extent specified or referenced in applicable contracts, grants, and agreements.
This NASA Technical Standard establishes Agency-wide technical requirements that minimize health and performance risks for flight crew in human spaceflight programs. This NASA Technical
Standard applies to space vehicles, habitats, facilities, payloads, and related equipment with which the crew interfaces during spaceflight and lunar and planetary, e.g., Mars, habitation.
In this NASA Technical Standard, the Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer establishes NASA’s spaceflight crew health technical requirements for the pre-mission, in-mission, and postmission phases of human spaceflight. These technical requirements apply to all NASA human spaceflight programs and are not developed for any specific program.
