The Aerospace Corporation has provided specifications & standards (S&S) leadership for the space industry for over 25 years, actively working with customer organizations and program offices to understand the changing mission assurance baseline needs. In the modern space domain, customer requirements have evolved as the threat to the warfighter continues to change rapidly. Aerospace understands that today’s focus on specifications & standards requires a more agile and flexible approach that takes into consideration technology advancements as well as maximizes the use of industry standards.
Aerospace produces documents that our government partners can utilize to develop standards and contract requirements as part of the acquisition process. These documents may be published as a TOR, TR, or TR-RS (a document type).
Below is a list of all the current specifications & standards documents published by Aerospace and are available for download. Development of these documents are typically customer-funded and customer-specific.
Aerospace Document Types:
TR-RS: Technical Report-Recommended Standard
TOR: Technical Operating Report
TR: Technical Report
