Standardized

In the context of space and astronautical engineering, standardized refers to the process of establishing a set of guidelines, procedures, or specifications that ensure consistency, safety, and reliability in the design, manufacturing, testing, and operation of space systems and vehicles. Standardization is crucial in the space industry to minimize risks, reduce costs, and facilitate international cooperation and interoperability. Standardization can cover various aspects of space systems, such as materials, components, interfaces, software, communication protocols, testing methods, and operational procedures. Standardization can be achieved through the work of international organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), or the European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS), as well as through national or industry-specific standards. Standardization is an ongoing process that evolves with technological advancements, operational experience, and changing requirements.
