This document establishes the requirements by which NASA formulates and implements space flight programs and projects, consistent with the governance model contained in NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 1000.0, NASA Governance and Strategic Management Handbook.
a. This NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) is applicable to NASA Headquarters (HQ) and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers. This language applies to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (a Federally Funded Research and Development Center), other contractors and recipients of grants, cooperative agreements, or other agreements, only to the extent specified or referenced in the applicable contracts, grants, or agreements.
b. This NPR applies to all NASA space flight programs and projects including spacecraft, launch vehicles, instruments developed for space flight programs and projects, some research and technology (R&T) programs and projects1, technical facilities specifically developed or significantly modified for space flight systems, Information Technology (IT) acquired as a part of space flight programs and projects, and ground systems that are in direct support of space flight operations. This NPR also applies to reimbursable space flight programs and projects performed for non-NASA sponsors and to NASA contributions to space flight programs and projects performed with international and interagency partners.
c. For existing programs and projects, the Revision F changes to the requirements of this NPR apply to their current and future phases as determined by the responsible Mission Directorate and concurred with by the NASA Chief Program Management Officer (CPMO) (or as delegated) and the Decision Authority.
d. This NPR can be applied to other NASA investments at the discretion of the responsible manager or the NASA Associate Administrator.
e. In this directive, all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall." The terms "may" or "can" denote discretionary privilege or permission, "should" denotes a good practice and is recommended but not required, "will" denotes expected outcome, and "are/is" denotes descriptive material.
f. In this directive, all document citations are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted. Documents cited as authority, applicable, or reference documents may be cited as a different categorization, which characterizes its function in relation to the specific context.

a. Compliance with this document is verified by submitting the gate products identified in this document at Key Decision Points (KDPs) to responsible NASA officials and milestone products and control plans due at life-cycle reviews (LCRs) and by internal and external controls. Internal controls are consistent with processes per NPD 1200.1, NASA Internal Control. Internal controls include surveys, audits, and reviews conducted in accordance with NPD 1210.2, NASA Surveys, Audits, and Reviews Policy. External controls may include external surveys, audits, and reporting requirements.
b. Compliance is also documented by appending a completed Compliance Matrix for this NPR (see Appendix C) to the Formulation Agreement for projects in Formulation and/or the Program Plan or Project Plan (see appendices G or H) for programs or projects entering or in Implementation. A copy of the Compliance Matrix is forwarded to the CPMO and the Office of the Chief Engineer (OCE) for programs and Category 1 projects and to the OCE for Category 2 and 3 projects for review. Organizations with authority to approve waivers or deviations to specific requirements are specified in Appendix C, Table C-1, Compliance Matrix.
