DIN EN 13292:1999-06

The document, which is informative in nature, contains the basic rules and overall principles to be applied to all engineering activities during performance of a space project. It addresses the establishment, based on customer needs, of mission objectives, requirements, and specifications for space systems, and the design, definition, production, verification, operation, and eventual disposal of the systems themselves. It defines the scope and interfaces of these activities relative to the domains of management and product assurance, and explains how they may apply in different ways depending on the type of space system concerned. It also introduces the lower level engineering standards within the space standards sytem, and proposes how they may be used to facilitate space project operations.
