Insights from Space Safety Institute

The Space Safety Institute (SSI) leverages Aerospace's longstanding technical and policy expertise to research and address space safety issues. The Space Safety Compendium describes priority issues and recommendations for the future sustainability of space operations. SSI also produced a report recommending a future-proof framework for commercial human spaceflight safety, based on an analysis of other transportation sectors, with a roadmap to an ideal future where human spaceflight is a common practice.

Both publications are available to download.
