AIAA G-140-2015

AIAA G-140-2015 provides guidelines regarding the current natural terrestrial environment criteria for usein the design and development of aerospace vehicles traversing the terrestrial atmosphere (0?90 kmaltitude). This Guide specifies and provides, in one single reference, a comprehensive description of thestate of the art of these natural terrestrial environment inputs. The contents to be used are based onaerospace vehicle development experiences and consolidated guidelines for natural terrestrialenvironments that have been utilized in a large number of space vehicle developments.

Aerospace vehicle design criteria guidelines are provided for the following environmental phenomena:winds; atmospheric models and thermodynamic properties; thermal radiation; U.S. and world surfaceextremes; humidity; precipitation, fog, and icing; cloud phenomena and cloud cover models; atmosphericelectricity; atmospheric constituents; aerospace vehicle exhaust and toxic chemical release; tornadoesand hurricanes; geologic hazards; and sea state. Sections 15 and 16 of this AIAA Guide based on thereferenced NASA TM include information on mission analysis, prelaunch monitoring, flight evaluation,physical constants, and metric/English unit conversion factors.
