Ground Simulation of Space Radiation Effects on Nonmetallic Materials: Status of the Proposed ISO Standard

Russia has proposed a new international standard for the testing of nonmetallic materials to simulate space radiation effects. The proposal was submitted to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Technical Committee 20 (Aircraft and Space Vehicles), Subcommittee 14 (Space Systems and Operations) and was approved as Working Draft 15856 at the Los Angeles meeting (1997). The second version of the draft was approved at the Beijing meeting (1998).
