Abstract

This Handbook was developed to aid Designers and Parts, Materials, and Processes (PMP) specialists with the design, development, and fabrication of electronic systems required to have long life and/or high reliability while operating under extreme conditions/environments of Space and Launch Vehicles. <br>The purpose of this handbook is to establish and maintain consistent and uniform methods for development of technical requirements for electronic parts, materials, and processes used in the design, development, and fabrication of space and launch vehicles. It provides a common basis for the estimation of Application Information, Design and Construction Considerations, and Quality Assurance Provisions for the proposed Design Application. It also establishes a common basis for comparing and evaluating of industry practices for related or competitive designs. This handbook is intended to be used as a tool to increase the performance and reliability of the system under design. <br>This Handbook is organized in two (2) major parts: Part One is a general section from par. 1.0 through 5.0 detailing general information about how to use the handbook, applicable documents that are referenced and are an integral part of this handbook, definitions, and general good practices to be considered whenever dealing with PMP; Part Two is the EEE Parts Section which comprises all the specific parts sections. (i.e. Capacitors, Fuses, etc.); Each of the individual Parts Sectiona are further organized into two (2) areas: a General Section detailing all the technologies covered, recommended application and application information for each technology, Design and Construction information for each, and general Quality Assurance provisions for the individual Part Section; the second area contains individual detail sections for each major technology covered by the individual Part Section. <br>This handbook is a guide and reference document intended to aid designers and parts engineers in the Parts Design Application Selection, Specification, and Verification for systems intended to be used in Space Flight and Launch Vehicles.
