For instance, the use of LEF for composites fatigue. The ECSS requires to use a LEF of 1.15 and a single design life, while Ariane rules consider LEF=1 and a factor four (4) on the design life. Once formally issued, is this ECSS going to be the sole ‘source’ for fracture control requirements?. To clarify the questions. 002-Eurospace 1 7 The first sentence states that the requirements are to be imposed on space segments of space systems. What does it mean?. To clarify the meaning of “space segments”. 003-Eurospace 2 8 Missing reference to ASTM E399, which is a standard for Fracture toughness testing Insert: ASTM-E399 Standard Test Method for Linear-Elastic Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness KIc of Metallic Materials 004-Eurospace 3.1 A statement concerning batteries is necessary. Differentiation between manned and unmanned applications may apply for batteries.
