The lack of widespread education in space safety engineering and management has profound effects on project team effectiveness in integrating safety during design. On one side, it slows down the professional development of junior safety engineers, while on the other side it creates a sectarian attitude that isolates safety engineers from the rest of the project team. To speed up professional development, bridge the gap within the team, and prevent hampered communication and missed feedback, the entire project team needs to acquire and develop a shared culture of space safety principles and techniques.The second edition of Safety Design for Space Systems continues to address these issues with substantial updates to chapters such as battery safety, life support systems, robotic systems safety, and fire safety. This book also features new chapters on crew survivability design and nuclear space systems safety. Finally, the discussion of human rating concepts, safety-by-design principles, and safety management practices have also been revised and improved. With contributions from leading experts worldwide, this second edition represents an essential educational resource and reference tool for engineers and managers working on space projects.

Zielgruppe

<p>Aerospace engineers, systems engineering and safety managers working in space agencies, space industry and consulting firms. Also suitable for use as a reference for senior and graduate level courses covering design and operations of space system</p>

Johnson, Gary
Gary Johnson began his career in 1964 at NASA Johnson Space Center as a project engineering in the Power Distribution and Sequencing Section for subsystem support of the Apollo sequencer system. Following various roles and responsibilities, last being Associate Director for Technical, Safety and Mission Assurance Directorate, he retired from NASA in 2006. From March 2007 to June 2010 he was an SAIC IPAO Contract technical consultant on the Constellation Program Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle Standing Review Board for Safety, and from June 2007 to September 2012 he was an SAIC Safety & Mission Assurance Support Services Contract technical consultant for Apollo and Space Shuttle lessons learned training and Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) S&MA Flight Safety Office assessments. As of October 2012, he has been an Aerospace Safety Consultant for J & P Technologies, supporting the SAIC Safety & Mission Support Engineering Services Contract to the NASA Johnson Space Center Safety & Mission Assurance Directorate, Flight Safety Office.

Kezirian, Michael T.
Dr. Kezirian has a Bachelors from Brown University (1989) and a Masters and Doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1992 and 1996 respectively), all in Chemical Engineering. He was an Associate Technical Fellow at the Boeing Company, most recently supporting the development of the Boeing Starliner CST-100, through the NASA Commercial Crew Program. For the Space Shuttle Program, he was the Boeing Safety Representative to the Mission Management Team and responsible for all safety products related to flight operations including flight readiness reviews and the resolution of on-orbit anomalies. In the Return to Flight activities following the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, Dr. Kezirian became the analysis lead of an integrated NASA cross agency to develop flight rationale to permit continued Shuttle flight operations. He is also a Fellow Member of IAASS, an Associate Fellow of the AIAA, and a member of the AIAA Standards Steering Committee, for which he oversaw the development of new standards for pressure vessels. He now teaches IAASS-sponsored, industry-focused courses on COPV design, certification, and operations. Dr. Kezirian is President of the International Space Station Foundation and is the founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Space Safety Engineering, published by Elsevier. In 2009, he was awarded the NASA Astronaut Personal Achievement Award (Silver Snoopy).
