该ECSS工程标准规定了对空间系统及其相关GSE的空间段施加的断裂控制要求。 断裂控制程序适用于ECSS-Q-ST-40或NASA文件NST 1700.7所要求的空间系统和相关GSE。国际统计局增编。 本标准实施后的要求也满足NASA STS和ISS中适用的裂缝控制要求，这些要求适用于NASA NSTS 1700.7（包括ISS附录）中的规定。 在某些情况下，美国航空航天局的命名与ECSS使用的术语不同。当包括STS/ISS特定的要求和命名时，它们被识别。 该标准可以针对符合ECSS-S-ST-00的空间项目的具体特征和限制

This ECSS Engineering Standard specifies the fracture control requirements to be imposed on space segments of space systems and their related GSE. The fracture control programme is applicable for space systems and related GSE when required by ECSS-Q-ST-40 or by the NASA document NST 1700.7, incl. ISS addendum. The requirements contained in this Standard, when implemented, also satisfy the fracture control requirements applicable to the NASA STS and ISS as specified in the NASA document NSTS 1700.7 (incl. the ISS Addendum). The NASA nomenclature differs in some cases from that used by ECSS. When STS/ISS-specific requirements and nomenclature are included, they are identified as such. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.
