Question
I was wondering how geometric tolerancing is used in the space industry. If you are unable to answer this question can you please point me in the right direction so I can get this answered..Thank You

Answer
This question should be directed at NASA. In the mid sixties I remember attending a meeting where the equations for the rendezvous radar had errors based updated data. There is no tolerance as I recall that is acceptable. But that was decades ago when I left the space program to enter the avionics business.
