Abstract

This Investigation Interface Requirements Document (IIRD) defines the interfaces for compatibility with the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG). The applicability of these requirements will depend upon the characteristics of the integrated MSG Investigation. The interface design requirements outlined in this document are mandatory and may not be violated unless specifically agreed upon by a Deviation/Waiver and documented in the individual Investigation Interface Control Document (ICD). <br>This IIRD is the interface design requirements document for Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) Investigations. Compliance with the IIRD is mandatory to certify an Investigation for integration into the MSG. This includes the United States Laboratory (USL), and Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM). NSTS 1700.7, ISS Addendum, KHB 1700.7, ISS Addendum and NSTS 18798 provide the safety requirements for Investigation design. <br>The physical, functional, and environmental design requirements associated with Investigation safety and interface compatibility are included herein. The requirements defined in this document apply to ground handling and processing, passive stowage transportation in the MPLM and Middeck, and on-orbit phases of the Investigation operation. Additional transportation requirements specific to the carrier, or requirement changes due to characteristics of the integrated MSG Investigation shall be identified in the Investigation Unique ICD. The on-orbit requirements have been derived form SSP- 57000, Pressurized Payloads Interface Requirements Document. The SSP-57000 requirements incorporated into this IIRD are the ones identified as an applicable requirement to an Investigation in SSP-57211, MSG ICD. The integrated systems test Investigations are required to perform with the Engineering Unit, in the investigation&apos;s flight configuration. The integrated test results are used to satisfy ISS verification requirements. All updates to SSP-57000 incorporated in this document are identified in Appendix H. The interface requirements defined herein address the MSG to Investigation interface and any rack specific requirements were derived from information on the MSG facility in the MSG-RIBRE-RP-0002, MSG Design Definition Document, MSG-RIBRE-RQ-001, MSG Payload Accommodation Handbook and MSG System Specification, MSG-RIBRE-SPE-0001. Any deviations/waivers to the requirements herein must first be approved by the MSG Integration Level III CCB.
