SMARTS (Safety and Mission Assurance Requirements Tracking System) @ http://smarts.nasa.gov: SMARTS is an Internet-based information system designed to serve the following needs:

• Making the right SMA requirements more accessible
• Collecting all SMA policy requirements and standards requirements at the Agency and Center levels
• Supporting the research into SMA requirements
• Supporting maintenance and development of new SMA policy and procedural documents
• Creating virtual SMA documents with a customized set of requirements
