PSWG

• PSWG members maintain their individual safety authority for their areas/locations of responsibility

– The PSWG is established to recognize all safety authorities– Air Force Range Safety still upholds AFSPCMAN 91-710– Astrotech and other contracted Payload Processing Facilities (PPF)

still ensures their local safety requirements are met for payload processing in their facilities

– Launch Vehicle Safety representative ensures their launch vehicle and spacecraft integration safety requirements are met

– NASA LSP Safety chairs the PSWG meetings and ensures NASA safety requirements are met on NASA property and per NASA contracts in contracted PPFs (includes NPR 8715.7)

– LSIM helps ensure appropriate safety (NASA/contracted PPF) requirements are met

– Payload Project Safety ensures all local safety requirements are met

Assuring the Safety & Enhancing the Success of ELV Payload Activities

Background

• NASA STD-8719.8 ELV Payload Safety Review Process Standard (June 1998) to be updated June 2003

– For the most part successful but needed improvements:• KSC and GSFC both submitted proposals in 2004 (PPBE) to OSMA to

improve the ELV Payload Safety review and approval process• Complicated roles for projects involving multiple NASA Center• International Partners (CALYPSO) issues• Lack of defined authorities in the safety review and approval process• Lack of acceptance of external (non-NASA) approving authority and

requirements relying heavily on Air Force Range Safety requirements• Lack of process for resolving dissenting opinions within NASA and with

external organizations• Payload Safety Working Group (PSWG) authority, activities and

processes not consistent from payload to payload (JPL vs. GSFC projects)

Assuring the Safety & Enhancing the Success of ELV Payload Activities

Background (continued)

• Program development effort built on the current PSWG approach and augmented as needed to addressing lessons learned

• Improvements to include:– Establish a NASA organization responsible for consistent

implementation/interpretation of safety requirements and overseeing the safety review process

– Establish and maintain NASA ELV Payload Safety Processes and Requirements

– Identify Decision Making Authorities• Formal process for resolving differences within the PSWGs• Formal variance/waiver process

– Replace NSS with NPR

payloads

• Keeps AFSPCMAN 91-710 paragraph numbers

• In a columnar template to become a baseline for tailoring by each project (payload mission) displaying tailoring decisions (C,T, I, N/A)

Tailoring Process

• Purpose: Ensure oversight of Agency requirements and provide Centers and Project Managers with the authority and flexibility to complete their tasks.

• Definition: The process of assessing the applicability of requirements and evaluating potential compliance to generate a set of specific requirements for the project.

• The Payload Project Office & its system safety engineer work with the PSWG to identify applicable requirements

• The PSWG Chairperson and Agency Team ensure consistency

• The PSWG Chairperson and the ELV Payload Safety Manager ensure appropriate authorities approve (sign) each tailored document. At a minimum, these include the Payload Project Manager, SMA Technical Authorities (project and ELV Launch) and Air Force Range Safety.

Preliminary Hazard Assessments & Hazard Reports

• Purpose: Utilize system safety engineering and analyses to identify and document potential hazards and verification for how those hazards will be eliminated or controlled

• At the Payload Safety Introduction Briefing, they will reflect the conceptual design, planned interfaces, operations, and identify potential hazards

• Hazard Reports will identify:– The hazard and mechanism for

occurrence and resulting outcome – The worst case severity and probability,

mitigations, and severity and probability with mitigations in-place

• Hazard Reports are included in each Safety Data Package

Safety Data Package I

• Descriptions of hazardous and safety critical flight hardware and software, systems, components, materials, and GSE that reflects the PDR-level design and operations scenario

• A description of the payload and mission • Initial descriptions of all payload systems

including hazardous and safety critical subsystems, their operation, and interfaces

• Preliminary hazard reports and summaries of the hazard analyses

• Information identifying compliance to the Tailored Payload Safety Requirements

• For previously launched buses, identification and description of safety-related problems, mishaps, or failures that occurred during fabrication, testing, processing, or integration that could affect the safety of the flight hardware or software, GSE, personnel, or other NASA resources THEMIS

A Safety Verification Tracking Log (SVTL)

• Documentation (in a tabular format) of the status of safety verifications identified in the Hazard Reports

• Information for each safety verification:– tracking number– brief description of the verification, – Hazard Report number(s) – Any constrained operation(s) – If independent verification is needed– Scheduled and actual completion dates– Method of closure, status, and any comments

• “Closed” - mitigations are in place and that the safety risk is controlled as specified in the Hazard Report. Safety verifications often are best performed at a certain time in the payload processing flow.

• Submitted at Safety Review III and used to ensure the completion of safety verifications even after transportation to the launch area processing site
