Standards and Regulations of SPS

02/27/2007 8:05 PM

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently an engineering student from Sydney, Australia. Just want to know if there are any standards and regulations regarding the design of solar powered satellites (SPS)?

I work with AS/NZS and IEC standards down here and it has never come up . Have you tried a standard search at the Standards Australia site - http://www.saiglobal.com/shop/Script/search.asp

If the standard is necessary for a project you are building at University perhaps I should have studied there.

When you fly over the USA, make sure that it is in accordance with NEC, over Europe the CE mark must be present and over Russia....

It must work in the most harsh conditions you can imagine, that is the only advice that can be given. How to accomplish that: the secret of satellite designers.

If it's flying over Chicken Coop, Arizona, it must also be bullet-proof...

Contact NASA they have the knowledge, also ESA European space agency. These are the main authority whent it comes to all things space related. Does Australia have a space agency? Try there as well.
