NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has developed a wide range of standards to ensure space missions’ safety, reliability, and success. These standards cover various aspects of space exploration, spacecraft design, human spaceflight, security, hardware, environmental considerations, etc.
Given below are the common NASA space standards along with their purposes:-
