1 Scope
This Standard establishes the basic rules and general principles applicable to the
electrical, electronic, electromagnetic, microwave and engineering processes. It specifies
the tasks of these engineering processes and the basic performance and design requirements
in each discipline.
It defines the terminology for the activities within these areas.
It defines the specific requirements for electrical subsystems and payloads, deriving
from the system engineering requirements laid out in ECSS‑E‑ST‑10 “Space engineering – System engineering general requirements”.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constrains of a
space project in conformance with ECSS‑S‑ST‑00.
