NASA-STD-7003A Pyroshock Test Criteria

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This Technical Standard approved by NASA 12.20, 2011. Superseding NASA-STD-7003. 41 p. The purpose of this Standard is to provide a consistent methodology for developing pyroshock test criteria for NASA spacecraft, payload, and launch vehicle hardware during the development, qualification (Qual), flight acceptance (FA), and/or protoflight (PF) 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.
