An Overview of the E.C.S.S. Handbook for Spacecraft Loads Analysis

Abstract eng:
The handbook of the European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) EHB-32-26 titled “Guidelines for Loads Analysis of Spacecraft and Payloads” is developed with the goal to harmonize methodologies, procedures and practices currently applied for the conduct of spacecraft and payloads loads analysis. The handbook will make available to the European Space Community a set of well proved methods and procedures for the calculation and assessment of structural design loads and for the evaluation of the test loads. The handbook is presently drafted by the “Loads Analysis Handbook Working Group” and contains a number of topics strictly related to computational structural dynamics. An overview of the proposed handbook, with a synopsis of some chapters, has been developed and it is here presented. It is planned that the handbook be published in the year 2012. Comments on the proposed handbook are solicited from the scientific community and industry.
