2.3.8-2 Level 2 Tasks

Tasks Applicable Mission Phases Description SFWC Artifacts References
2.3.8-2-1 Ensure spacecraft design meets End of Life (EOL) contamination limits Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure a combination of analysis, testing and measurement is used to verify that EOL contamination limits are met, are based on mission performance, and are consistent with interface control document requirements. NA NA Space Vehicle Systems Engineering Handbook, TOR-2006(8506)-4494, 30 November 2005, Subsection 6.4, Contamination and Contamination Control
2.3.8-2-2 Ensure analysis of materials for out gassing properties considering source temperatures, source lines-of-sight, and receiver temperatures, such that End of Life (EOL) contamination requirements are met Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure referencing of outgassing rates and potential treatment of nonmetallic materials (e.g. vacuum conditioning or bakeout) to reduce outgassing rates, as needed to meet EOL requirements.

2.3.8-2-3 Ensure analysis of launch vehicle environment for contributions to space vehicle non-volatile residue (NVR) and particulate contamination limits Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure the Launch Vehicle Interface Control Document includes coverage from encapsulation through Collision and Contamination Avoidance Maneuver (CCAM) based on a combination of analysis, testing and measurements. Ensure inputs and assumptions are characterized and understood.
