The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this ECSS Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revision of any of these publications, do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this ECSS Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the more recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.For launcher subsystems and Transfer Vehicle programmes, the specific General Specification (SG) or Design Rules (DR) documents are applicable for designing, dimensioning and testing.self-sustaining, exothermic decomposition reaction of an explosive substance, whose apparent velocity is less than the velocity of sound in the substance and greater than the speed of sound in air NOTE It is generally accepted that the energy transmission takes place via a mechanical compression wave. This type of reaction is intermediary between combustion and detonation. It differs from combustion through the presence of a significant compression wave in the surrounding environment. [Dictionary of explosive related terms]exothermic decomposition reaction of an explosive substance self-sustained by a shock wave, whose velocity of propagation is greater than the velocity of sound in the substance NOTE The velocity of propagation is of the order of several thousands of m/s. [Dictionary of explosive related terms] detonator initiator whose function is to transform external energy directly into a shock wave strong enough to detonate a secondary high explosive NOTE External energy can be, for example, mechanical, electrical and thermal. [Dictionary of explosive related terms] collection of all the explosive trains on the spacecraft or launcher system, and the interface aspects of any on-board computers, launch operation equipment, ground support and test equipment and all software associated with explosive functions fail operational mission capable after one failure NOTE Maintaining operational conditions after one failure and safety conditions after a second independent failure is referred to as “Fail operational – Fail safe”.BS EN 16603-33-11 pdf download.
