This document is a team product from the 2023 Mission Success Improvement Workshop (MSIW) program. The goal of the team, which consisted of government and industry partners, was to develop guidelines to define characteristic profiles for mission assurance processes for a given space vehicle risk class (A, B, C, D, and Do No Harm [DNH]) to serve as a recommended technical baseline suitable to meet program objectives based on programmatic constraints and mission needs. This document leverages the 2010 Mission Assurance Improvement Workshop (MAIW) product, Mission Assurance Program Framework (Aerospace Report No. TOR-2010(8591)-18) [4], that defined 16 processes supporting mission success that were universally consistent across all organizations and considered the essential set necessary to provide effective mission assurance for U.S. space programs.
