AIAA G-140-2015 provides guidelines regarding the current natural terrestrial environment criteria for use
in the design and development of aerospace vehicles traversing the terrestrial atmosphere (0?90 km
altitude). This Guide specifies and provides, in one single reference, a comprehensive description of the
state of the art of these natural terrestrial environment inputs. The contents to be used are based on
aerospace vehicle development experiences and consolidated guidelines for natural terrestrial
environments that have been utilized in a large number of space vehicle developments.
Aerospace vehicle design criteria guidelines are provided for the following environmental phenomena:
winds; atmospheric models and thermodynamic properties; thermal radiation; U.S. and world surface
extremes; humidity; precipitation, fog, and icing; cloud phenomena and cloud cover models; atmospheric
electricity; atmospheric constituents; aerospace vehicle exhaust and toxic chemical release; tornadoes
and hurricanes; geologic hazards; and sea state. Sections 15 and 16 of this AIAA Guide based on the
referenced NASA TM include information on mission analysis, prelaunch monitoring, flight evaluation,
physical constants, and metric/English unit conversion factors.
