This standard 21/30390842 DC BS ISO 23835. Space Systems. Mechanism design and verification is classified in these ICS categories:

• 49.140 Space systems and operations

This document establishes requirements for the design, material selection and characterization, fabrication, testing and inspection of all space mechanisms on spacecraft and payloads to meet the mission performance requirements. This document has not been produced with the objective to cover the requirements for mechanisms on expendable and reusable launch vehicles. Applicability of the requirements contained in this current version of this document to launch vehicle mechanisms is a decision left to the individual launch vehicle project.

This document, when implemented for a particular space system, will ensure high confidence in achieving safe and dependable operation in all phases of its planned mission.

This document applies specifically to all moving mechanisms used in spacecraft during all phases of the mission, with the following exceptions: engines and thermal protection systems.
