The procedures followed by the NASA Office of the Chief Engineer in developing the guidelines concerning the structures, materials, and fracture control of the Space Shuttle payloads are described. Factors controlling the payload launch safety, such as crew and passenger safety, reusability, and mixes of payloads in a single launch are emphasized. Special consideration is given to the STS design and testing approaches, materials considerations, safety criticality review processes, nondestructive evaluation inspection for STS payload fracture control, fracture mechanics screening procedures, and components of special concern (e.g., pressurized vessels, fasteners, and composite structures).
