NASA-STD-5012 Strength and Life Assessment Requirements for Liquid Fueled Space Propulsion System Engines

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This Technical Standard approved by NASA 06.12, 2006. 23 p. This standard provides strength and life assessment requirements for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) liquid fueled space propulsion system engines. "Life," as used in this standard, refers to fatigue and creep. The requirements address analyses and tests to qualify an engine structurally. The total system requirements for engine hot-fire tests are not addressed in these requirements; however, a minimum number of such tests must be conducted in conjunction with structural analyses and tests to qualify the engine structurally.
