Title

52nd IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SAFETY, QUALITY AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN SPACE ACTIVITIES

Description

Quality, safety, security… These domains reflect a same concern: how a complex space system can be developed and be operated in order to give its best with the proper robustness. In that environment, where radiations are not the least stress and possible ill-intentioned actions may occur, decreasing the level of failures in space activities is a must. Knowledge management, meaning proper capturing, capitalising, protecting and sharing the knowledge, and application of lessons learned and experience, are key factors. This Symposium organized by the International Academy of Astronautics aims at arousing the discussion between professionals and raising the awareness of the new generations on the various approaches to obtain and run reliable, resilient and safe space systems: to be addressed are design solutions, validation and tests, software development, and security, methods, management approaches, regulations to improve the quality, efficiency, and collaborative ability of space programs and space operations. All approaches are to be considered: risk management, complexity of systems and operations, knowledge and information management, human factors, economical constraints, international cooperation, norms, and standards.
