D5. 44th SYMPOSIUM ON SAFETY AND QUALITY IN SPACE ACTIVITIES
This 44th 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. A Big Challenge : Safety in Aerospace Missions
A large challenges exists in reaching a good level of safety for space mission and operations (including space tourism) with stringent cost limitation. This session will address all aspects of the development philosophy, mitigation of risks, risk and cost index of development of novel transportation systems, test procedures, and operations to meet this challenge for every kind of aerospace mission. Lessons learned are welcome for all steps in lifetime.

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 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 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 - Grounded research in knowledge and risk 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 exchange within or amongst organizations in support of actual programs or missions are of particular interest.

D5.3. Space Weather Prediction and Protection of Space Missions from Its Effects
Space missions are affected by the fluctuating solar activity and local space environment. New exploration programs, especially manned programs, 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 - Standardization and data policy for space weather
