Title

Quality and Safety, always a beginning!

type

oral

Description

"Remark : this scope of work has been first published for Dubai 2020 and partially treated in the Cyber Edition. As so many "beginnings" in quality and safety are part of the daily life of space contributors, and as the Dubai edition of the IAC will provide an opportunity for real discussion, the topic is reconducted but please feel free to propose papers with open discussions within the room". Implementing and maintaining a Safety and Quality Management System in Space Programs is a great challenge we have better to entrust to well seasoned manpower. But a space program is always somewhat new. New ambitions, new program, new stakeholders, new workforce, new country... This is also an underestimated facet of the so called « New Space ». How is it possible to set realistic goals, with real ambition, and insure success in this challenging context ? This session deals with the methods, tests, lessons learned, standards for analysis and mitigation of such risks to maintain the desired quality. It provides an opportunity for exchanges on all aspects of the life cycle (including design, development and production philosophy, operations) and associated risk management approach. It addresses every kind of space missions: transportation systems, orbital systems, exploration vehicles.
