SEE ALSO 1A002 AND 9A110.

  1. a..

    Components and structures, each exceeding 10 kg and specially designed for launch vehicles manufactured using any of the following:

    1. 1..

      "Composite" materials consisting of "fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010.e. and resins specified in 1C008 or 1C009.b.;

    2. 2..

      Metal "matrix""composites" reinforced by any of the following:

      1. a..

        Materials specified in 1C007;

      2. b..

        "Fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010; or

      3. c..

        Aluminides specified in 1C002.a.; or

    3. 3..

      Ceramic "matrix""composite" materials specified in 1C007;

      Note:

      The weight cut-off is not relevant for nose cones.

  2. b..

    Components and structures, specially designed for launch vehicle propulsion systems specified in 9A005 to 9A009 manufactured using any of the following:

    1. 1..

      "Fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010.e. and resins specified in 1C008 or 1C009.b.;

    2. 2..

      Metal "matrix""composites" reinforced by any of the following:

      1. a..

        Materials specified in 1C007;

      2. b..

        "Fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010; or

      3. c..

        Aluminides specified in 1C002.a.; or

    3. 3..

      Ceramic "matrix""composite" materials specified in 1C007;

  3. c..

    Structural components and isolation systems, specially designed to control actively the dynamic response or distortion of "spacecraft" structures;

  4. d..

    Pulsed liquid rocket engines with thrust-to-weight ratios equal to or more than 1 kN/kg and a ‘response time’ of less than 30 ms.

    Technical Note:

    For the purposes of 9A010.d., ‘response time’ is the time required to achieve 90 % of total rated thrust from start-up.
