Goals:Support NASA’s engineering function through:

– Providing the technical standards needed for NASA programs– Improving the practice of engineering by integrating experience into the

engineering process

Authority:

– NPD 8070.6B, “Technical Standards”, May 7, 2003 – NASA Preferred Technical Standards Program Plan, April 15, 1999– NPG 7120.5B, “NASA Program and Project Management Processes and

Requirements”, November 21, 2002– Public Law 104-113, “National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of

1995”– OMB Circular A-119, “Federal Participation in the Development and Use of

Voluntary Consensus Standards and Conformity Assessment Activities” (1998)

– NPG 8070.x , Technical Standards Processes (In Development)

Program Goals And Authority

Background And Context

Traditionally, NASA “standards” were built around specific programs and organizations – Shuttle, Space Station, Explorers…– NASA field centers - MSFC, JSC,…

“Standards” frequently included technical and programmatic requirements

Substantial use was made of Mil-Std’s. NASA-wide technical standards were generally limited to specific

areas:– Safety, Mission Assurance, electronic components– Construction of Facilities– Data Communications Standards

Technical standards were generally presumed “good forever” – until the next program decided to change them or specific problems were found



4

Current Approach

Today Create and maintain common, multi-program NASA

Technical Standards for NASA unique needs Make maximum use of applicable national and

international standards through “adoption” as NASA Preferred Technical Standards (PL 100-113)

Reference existing standards “as is” with program/ project tailoring (not re-write) to maintain traceability

Use of “Preferred Standards” is voluntary Future?:

Mandatory technical standards with waiver through Independent Engineering Technical Authority (Columbia Accident Investigation Board Recommendations)

NASA Core Standards? Program Lists?

Program Elements

Development of NASA Technical Standards

Support and Adoption of Voluntary Consensus/ Non-Government

Standards (PL100-113)

Transition of Center-Developed Standards with multi-program application to NASA Preferred Technical Standards (NASA or Non-Government)

NASA Integrated Technical Standards System–Agencywide Full-text Technical Standards System–Standards Update Notification System (SUNS)–“Hot link” integration of Lessons Learned/Best

Practices/Application Notes with NASA Technical Standards

Standards Awareness



9

Standards Program Processes

Engineering standards needs are identified through Centers and/or Discipline Working Groups

Formal process (separate from Directives Management System) controls proposals submittal, screening, development, Center review, and approval

Center Engineering Management Board member provides Center approval

Chief Engineer approves for NASA Standards from other functional areas (Codes Q, AO, M)

approved by HQ Associate Administrator Future:

Common management process for all NASA Standards Enterprise concurrence for policy, overall impact

• 144 employees participating in 33 different Standards Developing Organizations

• Leading or participating in the development of 197 Non-gov’t standards



12

Agencywide Full-text Technical Standards System

– Initiated in FY2000: competitive, 5 year, fixed price contract

– Non-Gov’t Standards Listings available to public; full text documents to nasa.gov only

– Provides “one stop”, transparent access to standards from more than 111 Standards

Developing Organizations (SDO’s)

– NASA “preferred” technical standards:

– Technical standards developed by NASA

– Adopted standards from other sources

– Center developed standards (JSC, KSC, MSFC, etc.)

– Program documents: Shuttle, Space Station, Payloads

– Other government standards (FAA, Navy, DoD, DoE, etc)

– Links to related technical information (I.e. Material and Metal Database, SPECSINTACT,

Logistic Parts Database, etc.)

– Sophisticated, but user friendly search capability

– Extensive metrics: accesses, downloads, documents, requestors...

SUNS allows users to register standards they use, and receive automatic notification when standards are revised, re-issued

Changes to technical standards can have major impacts on the safety, performance, reliability, and cost of programs/projects

Using out-of-date standards—unless required to meet specific need

Ignores improvements and misses the benefits of experience

Exposes programs/projects to the risk of repeating those failures that led to update of the standard

Pilot Test on Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster/TVC System

552 standards cited; all but 124 cancelled, replaced, or uncontrolled

For all programs to date:

Over 6000 document update requests received

Over 1600 document update notifications sent

17

Integration Of Lessons Learned/ Application Notes With Standards

NASA Lessons Learned System documents problems and improved guidance from program and project experience

Linking Lessons Learned with standards provides basis for interpretation/use and update of standards

Users alerted to Lessons Learned at the time they come looking for the standards

Current status– 543 out of 1700 Lessons Learned now hot-linked to 355 NASA

preferred and non-government technical standards

– “Reverse” search capability permits users to view specific lessons learned by technical discipline and view the standards linked to them

– Now adding “Application notes” from standards users that clarify or limit the scope, use, or context of standards; 168 linked to date

– Use of Lessons Learned system climbing
