D5. SYMPOSIUM ON SAFETY, QUALITY AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN SPACE ACTIVITIES

This 43rd Symposium organized by the International Academy of Astronautics addresses management approaches, methods, design solutions and regulations to improve the quality, efficiency and collaborative ability of space programs. All aspects are considered: risk management, complexity of systems and operations, knowledge management, human factors, economical constraints, international cooperation, norms and standards.

D5.1. Safety of Vehicules and Ground Segment for Aerospace Missions

Safety is a crucial issue for all steps of an aerospace mission. Risks associated with development, launch, in flight operation and landing vary with the nature of the mission from the use of nuclear devices for interplanetary exploration to the suborbital flight of "space tourists". This session deals with the methods tests, lessons learned, standards for analysis and mitigation of such risks.

D5.2. Knowledge Management and Collaboration in Space Activities

Working on complex space missions requires virtual teaming, learning lessons from the past, transferring knowledge from experts to younger generations, and developing deep expertise within an organization. • How are aerospace organizations managing the ability to control quality and share knowledge? • What solutions are in place to work across corporate and international boundaries? • How is knowledge captured, shared, and used to drive innovation? This session focuses on the processes and technologies that organizations are using to sustain, energize and invigorate their ability to learn, innovate and share knowledge within and amongst organizations for sustainable, peaceful exploration of space. Case studies and defined approaches will discuss: - Analysis of successful projects and innovations in the application of knowledge management - Approaches to risk and opportunity management - Capture of technical expertise and lessons learned from previous successful projects that are applicable to new programs and focus on driving innovation - Methods that allow data, information or knowledge exhange within or amongst organizations

D5.3. Space Weather Prediction and Effects on Space Missions

Space missions are affected by solar activity and new exploration programs, especially manned programs, that stress the need for real "space weather". This session will deal with: - Space environment and affects on modeling and ground testing - Lessions learned from space mission failures due to the space environment - Space solar activity measurement - Space weather prediction - Standardization and data policy for space weather
