Progress in space safety lies in the acceptance of safety design and
engineering as an integral part of the design and implementation process
for new space systems. Safety must be seen as the principle design driver
of utmost importance from the outset of the design process, which is only
achieved through a culture change that moves all stakeholders toward front-
end loaded safety concepts. This approach entails a common understanding
and mastering of basic principles of safety design for space systems at
all levels of the program organisation.
Fully supported by the International Association for the Advancement of
Space Safety (IAASS), written by the leading figures in the industry, with
frontline experience from projects ranging from the Apollo missions, Skylab,
the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, this book provides
a comprehensive reference for aerospace engineers in industry.
It addresses each of the key elements that impact on space systems safety,
including: the space environment (natural and induced); human physiology in
space; human rating factors; emergency capabilities; launch propellants and
oxidizer systems; life support systems; battery and fuel cell safety; nuclear
power generators (NPG) safety; habitat activities; fire protection; safety-
critical software development; collision avoidance systems design; operations
and on-orbit maintenance.
* The only comprehensive space systems safety reference, its must-have
status within space agencies and suppliers, technical and aerospace libraries
is practically guaranteed
* Written by the leading figures in the industry from NASA, ESA, JAXA,
(et cetera), with frontline experience from projects ranging from the Apollo
missions, Skylab, the Space Shuttle, small and large satellite systems, and
the International Space Station.
* Superb quality information for engineers, programme managers, suppliers
and aerospace technologists; fully supported by the IAASS (International
Association for the Advancement of Space Safety)
