NASA-STD-7003 Pyroshock Test Criteria

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This Technical Standard approved by NASA May 18, 1999. 31 p. The objective of this NASA Technical Standard is to provide a consistent methodology for developing pyroshock test criteria for NASA spacecraft, payload, and launch vehicle hardware during the development, qualification, flight acceptance, and/or protoflight test phases of the verification process. Various aspects of pyroshock testing are discussed herein, including test environments, methods and facilities, test margins and number of exposures, control tolerances (when applicable), data acquisition and analysis, test tailoring, dynamic analysis, and prediction techniques for pyroshock environments.
