Technical programme

D5.1. Ensuring quality and safety in a cost constrained environment: which trade-off?

The topics to be addressed include: • Evaluation of analysis versus test results for both on ground and in-orbit testing, design approach, development, and verification • Risk management • Lessons learned and records • Cooperation, organisms, and norms

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, these questions will be addresses: - 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 a 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 drinving information. - 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. Prediction and measurement of space weather conditions and impacts on space missions

Space weather and its fluctuations strongly impacts space missions. Environmental conditions yield constraints at design phase, and important risks in the course of the mission. The evaluation of the average and worst case conditions to be met, and of their impact on missions and sub-systems are thus of prime importance. This session will encompass the following topics: Space weather: -flight measurements; - physical processes; - prediction of average or worst case conditions. Environment effects on missions: -ground testing; - flight experiments and lessons learnt; -modelling and prediction.
