New Guide for the characteristics needed for Interoperability of Interfaces
1. Scope
The purpose of the Interoperability Task Force is to facilitate the development of commercial standards for interfaces useful for in-space servicing, assembly and manufacture (ISAM).
F47 should develop a standard guide for interface interoperability to ensure the commercial spaceflight industry can scale efficiently without being hampered by proprietary, fragmented systems. As the industry transitions from national agency control to a diverse commercial ecosystem, standardized "plug-and-play" characteristics are essential for safety, cost reduction, and mission resilience.
