What is ISO 22772 about?
ISO 22772 specifies the requirements for launch system designers or interface designers regarding interfaces between LV and EGSE, which is used to support online processing. It defines electrical interface types, design requirements, verification methods (analyses and tests), and interface check operation requirements.
ISO 22772 is intended to minimise design costs and reduce risks from errors resulting from miscommunication. It does not limit LV and EGSE organizational requirements to specify a unique interface.
Who is ISO 22772 for?
ISO 22772 on space systems is applicable to:
- Space research organisations
- Aerospace and satellite manufacturers
- Space research scientists and Engineers
- Spacecraft and satellite design engineers
Why should you use ISO 22772?
EGSE interfaces are used by satellite manufacturers to test electrical functions before launching the satellite.
ISO 22772 provides design requirements of electrical interfaces between launch vehicles and electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) for launch systems or interface designers. The defined interface type and requirements constitute the LV to EGSE interface control document (ICD).
The purpose of the ISO 22772 is to specify standardised requirements and help the designer specify the LV to EGSE ICD and subsequently help users to clearly understand the designer’s intentions, and hence minimize costs and reduce risk from errors resulting from miscommunication.
