Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document specifies the requirements for the exchange of mathematical models between a payload contractor (PLC) and a launch service provider (LSP). It identifies standard methods for modelling the dynamic behaviour of both launch vehicle (LV) and payload (PL), particularly when they are coupled prior to launch and during the early moments of the launch phase. In the model exchange case, the delivered models represent dynamic and static behaviour at the launch vehicle interface. The requirements provided in this document are the minimum necessary for dynamic coupled analysis. They may not be sufficient for stress analysis. The payload models are fully integrated models from the different parts of the payload under the payload contractor authority, including the payload adapter to the LV interface, where the adapter is part of the payload. This document does not include the validation of PL models.
