What is SPACE SAFETY? Internatinal Assciatin fr the Advancement f Space Safety 2
IAASS MANIFESTO MANIFESTO FOR A SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE SPACE I. Ensure that citizens f all natins are equally prtected frm the risks psed by ver-flying space systems and bjects during launch and re-entry/return peratins II. Ensure that space systems are develped, built and perated accrding t cmmn minimum grund and flight safety rules III. Seek t prevent cllisins r interference with ther aerspace systems during launch, n-rbit peratin, and re-entry IV. Ensure the prtectin f the grund, air and n-rbit envirnments frm chemical, radiactive and debris cntaminatin related t space peratins V. Ensure that mutual aid prvisins fr space missin safety emergencies are prgressively agreed, develped and made accessible withut restrictin anywhere n the Earth and in Outer Space Internatinal Assciatin fr the Advancement f Space Safety 3
STRATEGIC DRIVERS Advancing safety is a key element t expand space prgrams and make them ecnmically viable Space cmmercializatin and internatinal cperatin in civil space prgrams is the way ahead. It requires an internatinal safety culture! Need fr an integrated (airspace/uter space) internatinal regulatins system t cver traffic and safety f aer-space peratins (emerging subrbital space-planes, space-based safety critical services, etc.) Need fr unifrm internatinal space safety standards t ensure fair cmpetitin in the glbal (space) market.

IAASS MISSION Prmte an Internatinal Space Safety Culture: N accident shall ever happen because the risk was badly measured r willingly underestimated N accident shall ever happen because the necessary knwledge was nt made available t thers N accident shall ever happen because f lack f plitical r management attentin N accident shall ever happen because lack f persnal accuntability makes peple negligent Internatinal Assciatin fr the Advancement f Space Safety 5
IAASS GOALS Advance the science and applicatin f space safety Imprve the cmmunicatin, disseminatin f knwledge and cperatin between interested grups and individuals Imprve understanding and awareness f the space safety discipline Prmte and imprve the develpment f space safety prfessinals and standards Advcate the establishment f safety laws, rules, and regulatry & self-regulatry bdies at natinal, internatinal levels and industrial level fr the civil/cmmercial use f space.

IAASS & Academia The IAASS has invlved mre than 150 tp experts wrldwide in develping a cmplete series f university textbks n space safety design. Sme f ur activities: Organisatin f safety cnferences and seminars Perfrmance f independent research and studies Wrld-class space safety educatinal and training prgramme Safety standards Scientific publicatins and university textbks Jurnal f Space Safety Engineering March 2009 Special issue December 2009 August 2010 Safety Design in Chinese, 2011 September 2011 May 2013 Internatinal Assciatin fr the Advancement f Space Safety 11
JOURNAL OF SPACE SAFETY ENGINEERING (JSSE) The Jurnal f Space Safety Engineering (JSSE) is a quarterly publicatin f the IAASS prviding an authritative surce f infrmatin in the field f space safety design, research and develpment. The JSSE serves applied scientists, engineers, plicy makers and safety advcates with a platfrm t develp, prmte and crdinate the science, technlgy and practice f space safety. The jurnal has a distinguished Editrial Bard with extensive qualificatins, ensuring that the jurnal maintains high scientific and technical standards and has a brad internatinal cverage.

SPACE SAFETY MAGAZINE The Space Safety Magazine (SSM) is a quarterly print magazine and a daily news website, jintly published by the Internatinal Assciatin fr Advancement f Space Safety (IAASS) and by the Internatinal Space Safety Fundatin (ISSF). The Space Safety Magazine aim is t infrm and educate aerspace engineers and managers n general space safety matters but als t attract the brader audience f technical curius peple. The average daily visits t the SSM website are in the thusands, but with peaks abve 10,000 visits. http://www.spacesafetymagazine.cm/ Internatinal Assciatin fr the Advancement f Space Safety 13
EDUCATIONAL & PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS Space safety educatin is an imprtant accident preventin cntributr, but space safety design and risks are tpics nt generally taught at clleges and universities. The IAASS has supprted the intrductin f the first missin safety undergraduate curse at USC (University f Suthern Califrnia), and it is wrking n the launch f a web-based Certificate Prgram. Prfessinal space safety training, essentially in the frm f n-the-jb training, is available nly at sme majr natinal industries and rganizatins. The IAASS ffers a unique set f prfessinal training curses t advance space safety culture and technical knwledge f the field wrldwide. Internatinal Assciatin fr the Advancement f Space Safety 14
