Abstract
The European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) is an initiative established to develop a coherent, single set of user-friendly standards for use in all European space activities. In the autumn of 1993, several national space agencies in Europe, ESA and the European space industry joined forces to start developing the space standards. The ECSS standards must improve industrial efficiency and competiveness, and satisfy European and international clients. The standards will apply as needed to any party participating in the definition, development, manufacturing, verification or operation of any assembly, equipment, subsystem, system or service used for any space mission.
