该标准涉及作为空间项目一部分开发的控制系统。它适用于空间系统的所有元素，包括空间段，地面段和发射服务段。 它解决了在定义，规范，验证和验证方法和流程方面的控制性能问题。 该标准定4568义了处理性能指标的一般框架，适用于涉及控制工程的所有学科，并且可以在从设备到系统级别的不同层面4568上应用。它还着重于适用于闭环控制系统的具体性能指标 - 主要是稳定性和鲁棒性。 提供了用于组合不同错误源的规则，以便建立性能错误预算，并使用它来评估是否符合要求。 注1虽然设计是一般的，本标准的主要应用领域之一是航天器指向。这证明了为什么大多数示例和插图与AOCS问题有关。 注2:本标准的定义和规范性条款确实适用于指标表现;然而，完全具体的指点问题在这里没有详细解决（旋转空间

This standard deals with control systems developed as part of a space project. It is applicable to all the elements of a space system, including the space segment, the ground segment and the launch service segment. It addresses the issue of control performance, in terms of definition, specification, verification and validation methods and processes. The standard defines a general framework for handling performance indicators, which applies to all disciplines involving control engineering, and which can be applied as well at different levels ranging from equipment to system level. It also focuses on the specific performance indicators applicable to the case of closed-loop control systems – mainly stability and robustness. Rules are provided for combining different error sources in order to build up a performance error budget and use this to assess the compliance with a requirement. NOTE 1 Although designed to be general, one of the major application field for this Standard is spacecraft pointing. This justifies why most of the examples and illustrations are related to AOCS problems. NOTE 2 Indeed the definitions and the normative clauses of this Standard apply to pointing performance; nevertheless fully specific pointing issues are not addressed here in detail (spinning spacecraft cases for example). Complementary material for pointing error budgets can be found in ECSS-E-HB-60-10. NOTE 3 For their own specific purpose, each entity (ESA, national agencies, primes) can further elaborate internal documents, deriving appropriate guidelines and summation rules based on the top level clauses gathered in this ECSS-E-ST-60-10 standard. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.
