Title

56th IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SAFETY, QUALITY AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN SPACE ACTIVITIES

Description

Increasingly complex challenges around quality, safety, and security reflect how a space system can be developed and operated to perform its functions at its best with the proper robustness. In that environment, where radiation is not the least stress and possible ill-intentioned actions may occur, decreasing the level of failures in space activities is a must. Knowledge management (the proper capturing, protecting, and sharing of knowledge) and application of lessons learned and experience are key factors. This International Academy of Astronautics Symposium will be a lively discussion and raise awareness of new and innovative approaches to: obtain and run reliable and safe space systems: design solutions, validation, and tests; software development, validation, and security; and methods, management approaches, and regulations to improve the quality, efficiency, and collaborative ability of space programs and operations. All aspects are considered: risk management, complexity and security of systems and operations, knowledge and information management, human factors, economical constraints, international cooperation, norms, and standards.
