This document establishes a top level certification standard for the design, analysis, material selection and characterization, fabrication, test and inspection of the flywheel rotor assembly (FRA) in a flywheel used for energy storage and/or attitude control in manned and unmanned space systems. This standard, when implemented on an FRA in a particular flywheel system, can assure a high level of confidence in achieving safe and reliable operation. This document may also be applicable to flywheel systems used in aircraft, mobile, stationary and subterranean applications if appropriate changes are agreed to between the responsible authority and the flywheel developer.

This document applies specifically to FRAs in flywheels used in space flight applications. The standard is applicable to the parts in the FRA, which rotate under normal operating conditions. Included are rim, hub and/or shaft, and other associated rotating parts such as the rotating bearing components and the motor generator rotor.

This document does not include verification requirements applicable to the system level of the flywheel. At the flywheel system level, the qualification and acceptance test requirements specified in MIL-STD-1540 are applicable.
