Nasa Systems Engineering Handbook

This handbook is intended to provide generalguidance and information on systems engineer- ing that will be useful to the NASA community. It provides a generic description of Systems Engineering (SE) as it should be applied throughout NASA. A goal of the handbook is to increase awareness and consis- tency across the Agency and advance the practice of SE. This handbook provides perspectives relevant to NASA and data particular to NASA.
This handbook should be used as a companion for implementing NPR 7123.1, Systems Engineering Processes and Requirements, as well as the Center- specific handbooks and directives developed for implementing systems engineering at NASA. It pro- vides a companion reference book for the various systems engineering-related training being offered under NASA’s auspices.
