This standard 21/30401542 DC BS ISO 24330. Space systems. Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) and On Orbit Servicing (OOS). Programmatic principles and practices is classified in these ICS categories:

• 49.140 Space systems and operations

The intended scope of this document is to establish guiding principles and best practices at the programmatic level for all participants in the Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) and On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) industry. These principles and practices establish the broadest boundaries for behaviour of participants in the RPO/OOS industry and precede more detailed standards. In principle, the document also covers both robotic and Human Spaceflight (HSF) missions, but today requirements are derived from robotic missions. If additional more specific requirements are needed for HSF these can be provided in the future.

This document is intended to apply to a broad array of RPO/OOS industry participants from spacecraft equipment manufacturers, spacecraft operators, service providers, developers of RPO/OOS simulation, planning and safety tools, and insurers. It is intended to help establish responsible norms of behaviour for RPO and OOS that industry participants will achieve and to promote throughout the global industry.
