An updated EMC standard for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

Abstract

At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) requirements are defined in the General Environmental Verification Specification (GEVS), GSFC-STD-7000 [1]. These requirements were based on the requirements of MIL-STD-461C [2]and the test methods of MIL-STD-462 [3]. GEVS EMI requirements were reviewed and revised over a one year period by the GSFC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Working Group, using MIL-STD-461F [4] as a starting point and incorporating appropriate tailoring to address the specific needs of GSFC platforms. This paper describes the results of that working group effort to update the EMI requirements in GEVS for GSFC platforms.
