ISO 15863:2003

Space systems — Spacecraft-to-launch-vehicle interface control document

The purpose of ISO 15863:2003 is to provide spacecraft (SC) and launch vehicle (LV) organizations with the general format for presenting the interface control document (ICD) that verifies and controls the compatibility between SC and LV for a dedicated mission. ISO 15863:2003 addresses the definition of the mission, the compatibility of the SC with the LV environment, including all mechanical, electrical, radio frequency, and electromagnetic aspects related to SC to LV and SC to launch range interfaces, verification analyses and tests for the induced environment, and the necessary facilities and support for launch range operations.
