Status of a NASA Standard and Three NASA Handbooks

NASA-STD-7003 Pyroshock Test Criteria, May 18, 1999, has been revised per direction of NASA Headquarters to make it a mandatory standard and to update it for advances in the discipline since it's initial release. NASA-HDBK-7004B Force Limited Vibration Testing, January 31, 2003, and NASA-HDBK-7005 Dynamic Environmental Criteria, March 13, 2001, are being updated to reflect advances in the disciplines since their last release. Additionally, a new NASA handbook, NASA-HDBK-7008 Spacecraft Structural Dynamics Testing is currently being prepared. This paper provides an overview of each document, summarizes the major revisions for the documents undergoing update, and provides the development schedules.

EUVE Guest Observer Program Handbook: Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Guest Observer Documentation: Use with Addendum 1 for 1995 - Appendix G

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) is a NASA explorer-class satellite mission devoted entirely to observations in the wavelength range from 70 to 760 Angstroms. The science payload incorporates five separate instruments: four photometric imaging systems and a three-channel EUV spectrometer. During the first phase of the mission, the imaging instruments were used to conduct a complete sky survey in four different bands in the EUV. The survey results are available to the scientific community in the first EUVE sky survey bright source list and the first EUVE all-sky catalog. The second part of the mission is being conducted by NASA as a Guest Observer program, for which pointed spectroscopic observations are conducted for guest scientists under proposals submitted to NASA and supported by the EUVE Guest Observer Center at Berkeley. The mission lifetime will extend through at least a third year of observations. Further extensions of the EUVE mission will be partially contingent upon a review process conducted in September of 1994. To support an extended mission, please contact the chair of the EUVE User 's Committee1 or the EUVE Project Office (address below). The EUVE Guest Observer (EGO) Program is supported by the EUVE Guest Observer Center (EGO Center) at the Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Astrophysics (CEA), at the University of California, Berkeley. The policies of the EGO Program and specified in the NRA. This Handbook is produced by the EGO Center as a guide to choosing appropriate targets for observation and preparing proposals. The rest of this chapter gives a broad overview of the EUVE mission and the EGO Center.

Executive Order 13514: Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance; Comprehensive Federal Fleet Management Handbook (Book)

A comprehensive Federal Fleet Management Handbook that builds upon the "Guidance for Federal Agencies on E.O. 13514 Section 12-Federal Fleet Management" and provides information to help fleet managers select optimal greenhouse gas and petroleum reduction strategies for each location, meeting or exceeding related fleet requirements, acquiring vehicles to support these strategies while minimizing fleet size and vehicle miles traveled, and refining strategies based on agency performance.

Foundation Design Handbook

The purpose of this handbook is to provide information that will enable designers, builders, and homeowners to understand foundation design problems and solutions. The foundation of a house is a somewhat invisible and sometimes ignored component of the building. It is increasingly evident, however, that attention to good foundation design and construction has significant benefits to the homeowner and the builder, and can avoid some serious future problems. Good foundation design and construction practice means not only insulating to save energy, but also providing effective structural design as well as moisture, termite, and radon control techniques where appropriate.
