The safety of any space system requires a deliberate and interdisciplinary integration of the flight hardware design with the design of its operations throughout the entire lifecycle of the system.
Endorsed by the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS) and drawing on the expertise of the world’s leading experts in the field, Safety Design for Space Operations provides the practical how-to guidance and ...
This chapter covers all aspects of spaceport design for safety.
This chapter provides an understanding of quantitative risk assessment as it is applied in the operational phase of complex aerospace missions.
Because of the inherent high sensor resolution satellite laser ranging (SLR) has been developed into a widely used range measurement technology, today more than 30 observing stations all across the world are routinely tracking a large ...
This chapter is in two sections.
This chapter provides a guideline for managing third party risks generated by the launch of a space booster.

A valid risk mitigation strategy requires accurately computed risks, and the first section of this chapter discusses this. This is followed by a section on aircraft vulnerability modeling.
This chapter deals with some key topics of orbital safety.
From the beginning of humankind’s use of space, human-made objects have re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and experienced the severe aerodynamic heating and loads characteristic of high-speed atmospheric re-entry.
Chapter 5 extends the launch safety analysis to toxic and distant focusing overpressure hazards.
