  A.5 Verification

Specifies the general criteria for the development of flight-to-ground umbilical systems used by a space system. The criteria specified herein is limited to the service arms or equivalent mechanisms, umbilical carriers and plates, couplings, connectors, withdrawal and retract devices, handling mechanisms and control systems for mechanisms and also prevention of accidental cross-connection.
