NATO Supply Class 1840 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 18, which is specifically designated for Space Vehicles.
NATO Supply Class 1840 pertains to Space Vehicle Launchers, which are the systems or platforms used to launch space vehicles into orbit. These launchers are responsible for propelling the space vehicles off the ground and into space.
Space Vehicle Launchers can include various types of systems, such as:
1. Rocket Launchers: These are the most common type of space vehicle launchers, which use rocket propulsion to launch the vehicles into space. Rocket launchers can be further classified based on their size, capacity, and propulsion technology.
2. Space Shuttle Launchers: These are specialized launchers designed specifically for launching space shuttles, which are reusable spacecraft capable of carrying both crew and cargo into space.
3. Satellite Launchers: These launchers are specifically designed for launching satellites into orbit. Satellites play a crucial role in various applications, including communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research.
4. Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Launchers: While primarily designed for military purposes, ICBM launchers can also be considered as space vehicle launchers. These launchers are used to propel ballistic missiles into space, which can carry nuclear warheads or other payloads.
NATO Supply Class 1840 provides a standardized classification system for space vehicle launchers, ensuring efficient logistics and supply chain management within NATO member countries. It helps in categorizing and organizing the procurement, maintenance, and distribution of space vehicle launchers for military and civilian purposes.
It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 1840 is specific to NATO member countries and is used for internal supply chain management within the NATO organization.
Launchers specifically designed for Space Vehicles.
Launchers used with both Guided Missiles and Space Vehicles.
Note-This group includes space vehicles, such as space capsules, man-made moons, orbitals, satellites, space platforms, and the like, manned or unmanned. Excluded from this group are guided missiles and rockets.
