This document defines the minimum performance standards for personnel parachute assemblies to be carried in aircraft or worn by passengers, crew, or parachutists for emergency use. This document covers three types of personnel carrying parachute assemblies and the operating limitations for each:
This specification covers the requirements for one (1) type of pocket photographic interpretation kit, containing viewing and measuring instruments, for use in the field.
This specification covers the requirements for disposable self-pressurized kits which utilize a propellant can pressurized with a liquified gas to atomize a product contained in a separate but attached jar (see 6.1).
This specification establishes environmental criteria for designing Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) in support of space systems. The test levels in this specification have been elevated to compensate for absence of combined environments during test, and to allow for variations in equipment and operating conditions. Environmental requirements are summarized in Table 1.
This specification covers the requirements for an interval timer for controlling the duration of an electrical pulse to a solenoid valve for use in Rain Repellent systems covered by Specification MIL-R-81589.
This specification established the requirements for a 5 second duration, 4500 pound thrust (when determined at 60°F) solid propellant rocket engine hereinafter specified as 5 S-4500.
This specification covers canisters for shipment and storage of lithium hydroxide (LiOH), to be used in receptacle for CO2 absorbent (see MIL-R-24159).
The reader of specifications sometimes needs some help understanding the reasoning behind certain usage of terms. The scope of this AIR is to explain the functions of the various sections of the specifications, why some of the terms in AMS specifications are used, and how the specification system works. After the introduction, the topics are shown in the order they usually appear in specifications.
This specification is designed to present detailed procedure to be followed in splicing cable terminals. The types of cable to which this specification applies are listed in Section 2 and table I.
