Introduction to Norris-Landzberg equation for thermal cycling test definition
The Norris-Landzberg equation is that it is required by ECSS in many calculations. For example, ECSS-Q-ST-70-61 and several ESA Memos indicate that the use of this equation is mandatory in order to assess if the qualification perform of PBAs covers the environment of the mission. Similar methodologies are widely referenced in MIL and NASA standards
