Abstract

This Investigation Interface Requirements Document (IIRD) defines and controls required MSG Investigation interfaces for compatibility with the Glovebox Integrated Microgravity Isolation Technology (g-LIMIT). In this document, the use of the word "Investigation" refers to the experiment to be mounted on and interface with the g-LIMIT Isolator Payload Mounting Structure, PMS and interface to the Isolator Umbilical Interface Plate, UIP. The applicability of these requirements will depend upon the characteristics of the integrated g-LIMIT and MSG Investigation. Any deviation to these interface requirements must be specifically agreed upon and documented in the individual Investigation Interface Control Document (ICD). This document is under the control of the MSG Investigation Integration Team (IIT) Configuration Control Board. <br>This IIRD is the interface design requirements document for MSG Investigations interfacing with g-LIMIT. Compliance with the IIRD is mandatory to certify an Investigation for integration with the g-LIMIT. <br>The NSTS 1700.7, ISS Addendum; NSTS 18798 and KHB 1700.7 Space Shuttle Payload Ground Safety Handbook define the safety requirements for Investigation design. The physical and functional design requirements associated with Investigation safety and interface compatibility are included herein. <br>Because the g-LIMIT will be used within the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) onboard the ISS, the Investigation must also be in compliance with the MSG Investigation Interface Requirements Document, MSFC-RQMT-2888 (current revision).
