MANIFESTO
FOR
A SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE SPACE
I. Ensure that citizens of all nations are equally protected from the risks posed
by over-flying space systems and objects during launch and re-entry/return
operations
II. Ensure that space systems are developed, built and operated according to
common minimum ground and flight safety rules
III. Seek to prevent collisions or interference with other aerospace systems
during launch, on-orbit operation, and re-entry
IV. Ensure the protection of the ground, air and on-orbit environments from
chemical, radioactive and debris contamination related to space operations
V. Ensure that mutual aid provisions for space mission safety emergencies are
progressively agreed, developed and made accessible without restriction
anywhere on the Earth and in Outer Space

IAASS STRATEGIC DRIVERS
o Advancing safety is a key element to expand space programs and make them economically
viable
o Space commercialization and international cooperation in civil space programs is the way
ahead. It requires an international safety culture!
o Need for an integrated (airspace/outer space) international regulations system to cover
traffic and safety of aero-space operations (emerging suborbital space-planes, space-based
safety critical services, etc.)
o Need for uniform international space safety
standards to ensure fair competition in the
global (space) market.
International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety 5
IAASS IAASS MISSION
Promote an International Space Safety Culture:
o No accident shall ever happen
because the risk was badly measured or willingly underestimated
o No accident shall ever happen
because the necessary knowledge was not made available to others
o No accident shall ever happen
because of lack of political or management attention
o No accident shall ever happen
because lack of personal accountability makes people negligent
International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety 6
IAASS IAASS GOALS
o Advance the science and application of space safety
o Improve the communication, dissemination of knowledge and cooperation between
interested groups and individuals
o Improve understanding and awareness of the space safety discipline
o Promote and improve the development of space safety professionals and standards
o Advocate the establishment of safety laws, rules, and regulatory & self-regulatory bodies
at national, international levels and industrial level for the civil/commercial use of space.

IAASS INTRODUCING IAASS
o A non-profit organisation dedicated to furthering international cooperation and scientific
advancement in the field of space systems safety
o Based on the intellectual interaction of individual members who together shape the technical
vision of the association, and make the association services available to stakeholders (on a
non-profit basis)
o Legally established 16 April 2004
in The Netherlands
o Since October 2004 member of IAF
o June 2006, former US Senator
John Glenn and first American to
orbit became Honorary Member
o June 2010, IAASS granted Observer
status at the United Nations COPUOS
(Committee on the Peaceful Uses of
Space)
The association counts more than 200 professional
members from 26 countries. 55% of the members are
from industry, while the remaining 45% comes from
space agencies, governmental institutions and academia

IAASS JOURNAL OF SPACE SAFETY ENGINEERING (JSSE)
o The Journal of Space Safety Engineering (JSSE) is a quarterly publication of the IAASS
providing an authoritative source of information in the field of space safety design, research
and development.
o The JSSE serves applied scientists, engineers, policy makers and safety advocates with a
platform to develop, promote and coordinate the science, technology and practice of space
safety.
o The journal has a distinguished Editorial Board with extensive qualifications, ensuring that
the journal maintains high scientific and technical standards and has a broad international
coverage.

IAASS SPACE SAFETY MAGAZINE
o The Space Safety Magazine (SSM) is a quarterly print magazine and a daily news website, jointly
published by the International Association for Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS) and by the
International Space Safety Foundation (ISSF).
o The Space Safety Magazine aim is to inform and educate aerospace engineers and managers on
general space safety matters but also to attract the broader audience of “technical curious”
people. The average daily visits to the SSM website are in the thousands, but with peaks above
10,000 visits.

IAASSEDUCATIONAL & PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS
o Space safety education is an important accident prevention contributor, but space
safety design and risks are topics not generally taught at colleges and universities. The
IAASS has supported the introduction of the first mission safety undergraduate course at
USC (University of Southern California), and it is working on the launch of a web-based
Certificate Program.
o Professional space safety training, essentially in the form of on-the-job training, is
available only at some major national industries and organizations. The IAASS offers a
unique set of professional training courses to advance space safety culture and
technical knowledge of the field worldwide.
