(4) For the definition of ““Spacecraft”” substitute—
““Spacecraft” (5 9) means a craft designed to operate in, persist in or transit through space in the form of a “satellite”, “space probe”, or “space vehicle”.
Note:
“Spacecraft” does not include landers, rovers, or other craft, limited by design to operate on or beneath the surface of, or in the atmosphere of an extra-terrestrial celestial body, or “sub-orbital craft”.”.
(5) Insert the following definitions in the appropriate places—
““Circuit element” is a single active or passive functional part of an electronic circuit, such as one diode, one transistor, one resistor, one capacitor, etc.”;
““Data device” (4) means equipment capable of transmitting or receiving sequences of digital information.”;
““Discrete component” is a separately packaged “circuit element” with its own external connections.”;
““Maintenance Level I” (7) means the failure of an inertial navigation unit is detected on the “aircraft” by indications from the Control and Display Unit (CDU) or by the status message from the corresponding sub-system. By following the manufacturer’s manual, the cause of the failure may be localised at the level of the malfunctioning Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The operator then removes the LRU and replaces it with a spare.”;
““Maintenance Level II” (7) means the defective LRU is sent to the maintenance workshop (the manufacturer’s or that of the operator responsible for level II maintenance). At the maintenance workshop, the malfunctioning LRU is tested by various appropriate means to verify and localise the defective Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA) module responsible for the failure. This SRA is removed and replaced by an operative spare. The defective SRA (or possibly the complete LRU) is then shipped to the manufacturer. “Maintenance Level II” does not include the disassembly or repair of specified accelerometers or gyro sensors.”;
““Non-repetitive pulsed” (6) means “lasers” that produce either a single output pulse or that have a time interval between pulses exceeding one minute.”;
““Satellite” (5 9) means a “spacecraft”, other than a “space vehicle”, designed to operate in orbit around Earth or another celestial body; “satellites” include orbital space stations.”;
““Spacecraft mission equipment” (9) means equipment, designed to be located on a “spacecraft bus”, and to perform a mission in space or to enable the “spacecraft” to perform its mission (e.g., communications, observation, science, transport).
Technical note: “Spacecraft mission equipment” is sometimes referred to as a spacecraft payload.”;
““Space probe” (9) means a “spacecraft”, other than a “satellite” or “space vehicle”, designed not to return to Earth.”;
““Space vehicle” means “spacecraft” designed to provide transport for cargo or passengers.
Note: “Space vehicles” include craft designed to safely return to Earth.”;
““Strong mechanical bond” (9) means a bond having a bond strength equal to or greater than propellant strength.”;
““Wall-plug efficiency” (6) means the ratio of “laser” output power (or “average output power”) to total electrical input power required to operate the “laser”, including the power supply/conditioning and thermal conditioning/heat exchanger.”
