8 This MANUAL sets forth the minimum requirements acceptable at GSFC for the preparation of ENGINEERING drawings for flight hardware and ground support systems. The requirements specified herein are essential to the standardization of practices and to a uniform interpretation of drawings . A system, payload, or component assembly shall be completely defined by means of drawings , including lists, schematics, wiring diagrams, and specifications, to ensure that components fabricated are in accordance with the design. The documentation information shall serve as a permanent record. Flight hardware shall be fabricated in accordance with the approved design documents. These documents shall reflect the characteristics and acceptance criteria for all materials, component/parts, subsystems, and the complete system. The acceptance criteria for parts and materials shall be specified by standard specifications when applicable.

9 ENGINEERING drawings are defined as those drawings that communicate the requirements for the manufacture of the end-product items, their assembly, and their installation in the end product. The ENGINEERING drawings prepared by GSFC design personnel or contractors on GSFC DRAWING format using GSFC DRAWING numbers shall be known as Government Design Activity drawings . Parts made to these drawings typically would be manufactured through the Fabrication ENGINEERING Branch, ENGINEERING Services Division, GSFC. Contractor Design Activity drawings (which are a company's drawings bearing the company name, address, federal code identification, and DRAWING number) should be used when the company is designing and delivering the finished product in accordance with the terms of a NASA contract. The Design Activity shall be defined as an activity having responsibility for the design of an item or system. The activity may be a government entity, a contractor, a vendor, or another organization such as a university.

10 Although generally in accordance with the Department of Defense and industry practices and procedures, this DRAWING STANDARDS MANUAL does contain specific differences and exceptions to ENGINEERING DRAWING Practices, MIL-STD-100E. This MANUAL , while not intended as a MANUAL of instruction in the basic principles of drafting, does set forth the minimum requirements acceptable at the GSFC. One of those requirements is that persons engaged in the preparation of drawings shall have a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of drafting and geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing (in accordance with ANSI , Dimensioning and Tolerancing) in order to produce interpretable drawings .
