Insights from Space Safety Institute

The Space Safety Institute (SSI) leverages Aerospace's longstanding technical and policy expertise to address issues of space safety. The Space Safety Compendium describes key high-priority areas and recommendations for the future sustainability of space operations. The institute also produced a report on commercial human spaceflight safety, which presents a recommended framework based on an analysis of other transportation sectors, identification of common safety components, and a roadmap that leads to an ideal future where human spaceflight is a common practice.

Both publications are available to download.
