FSC 1820: Space Vehicle Components
Federal Supply Class (FSC) 1820 covers structural and mechanical components for space launch vehicles and spacecraft. Items are manufactured to exacting MIL-SPEC and NASA standards for space environmental performance and reliability.
These components form the structure of rockets and satellites and handle separation, mounting, and load-bearing functions. They must survive launch loads, vacuum, and extreme temperature swings.
Common items include propellant tanks, structural panels, separation systems, and mission-specific hardware. Parts use aerospace aluminum, titanium, and advanced composites engineered for high strength at low weight.
