D5.1. Insuring Quality and Safety in a Cost Constrained Environment: Which Trade-Off?

From development to operation of every kind of space mission, the ambition is usually to meet striking performances (but also usually with constrained budget). This session deals with the methods used and lessons learned dealing with such a challenge.

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 organisation. • How are aerospace organisations managing the ability to share knowledge to develop new missions? • What solutions are in place to work securely across corporate and international boundaries? • How is knowledge captured, shared, and used to drive innovation? This session focuses on the processes and technologies that organisations are using to sustain, energise and invigorate their ability to learn, innovate, and share knowledge within and amongst organisations 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 • Grounded research in knowledge and risk management • Capture of technical expertise and lessons learned from previous successful projects that are applicable to new programmes and focus on driving innovation. Methods that allow data, information or knowledge exchange within or amongst organisations in support of actual programmes or missions are of particular interest.

D5.3. Space Weather and Effects: Prediction, Analysis and Protection

Space missions are affected by the fluctuating solar activity and local space environment. New exploration programmes, especially manned programmes, stress the need for real "space weather forecasts". This session will deal with: - Space environment and effects: modelling and ground testing - Lessons learned from space mission failures due to the space environment - Space solar activity and space weather measurements - Space weather prediction - Standardisation and data policy for space weather.
