ASTM-F3610 › Standard Classification for Descriptions of Spaceport Capabilities
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This classification lists elements recommended for describing a spaceport’s facilities and capabilities to potential launch customers, users, third-parties, or other members of the public. Using standardize elements simplifies comparisons and makes it easier to understand the suitability of a spaceport for a given purpose. Spaceports have the discretion to communicate all, some, or none of these elements.
1.2 Measurement data in this standard shall use the ASTM guidance on International System of Units (SI) for all data. In addition to the SI units for data, spaceports addressing U.S. customers should also consider including U.S. customary units for the ease of much of their customer base.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address the legal requirements associated with licensing or permitting a spaceport. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate legal and licensing practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
Significance and Use
4.1 This classification provides voluntary guidance for spaceports to provide information about their spaceport, capabilities, systems, restrictions, and other information for use by customers and potential customers.
4.2 Information provided by the spaceport is intended to be for public use and only encompass non-proprietary information.
