NASA Systems Engineering Handbook

This is a ALL-COLOR reproduction of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Systems Engineering Handbook (NASA/SP-2007-6105 Rev1).This handbook consists of six core chapters: (1) systems engineering fundamentals discussion, (2) the NASA program/project life cycles, (3) systems engineering pro- cesses to get from a concept to a design, (4) systems engi- neering processes to get from a design to a final product, (5) crosscutting management processes in systems en- gineering, and (6) special topics relative to systems en- gineering. These core chapters are supplemented by ap- pendices that provide outlines, examples, and further information to illustrate topics in the core chapters. The handbook makes extensive use of boxes and figures to define, refine, illustrate, and extend concepts in the core chapters without diverting the reader from the main in- formation.The handbook provides top-level guidelines for good systems engineering practices; it is not intended in any way to be a directive.NASA/SP-2007-6105 Rev1 supersedes SP-6105, dated June 1995.
