APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE—DISTRIBUTION IS UNLIMITED 2 of 75 NASA-HDBK-0008 FOREWORD This Handbook is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a guidance document to provide engineering information; lessons learned; possible options to address technical issues; classification of similar items, materials, or processes; interpretative direction and techniques; and any other type of guidance information that may help the Government or its contractors in the design, construction, selection, management, support, or operation of systems, products, processes, or services. This Handbook is approved for use by NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers. It provides information on product data and life-cycle management (PDLM) and general guidance to adapt the methods needed to implement the requirements in NPR 7120.9, NASA Product Data and Life-Cycle Management (PDLM) for Flight Programs and Projects. This Handbook also addresses elements to consider when developing the PDLM Plan so that enablers and users of the product are better equipped to recognize and avoid pitfalls that might otherwise be experienced. Requests for information, corrections, or additions to this Handbook should be submitted via “Feedback” in the NASA Standards and Technical Assistance Resource Tool at https://standards.nasa.gov.
