hi I'm Vince Whitfield with a NASA
scientific and technical information
program today we're at Kennedy Space
Center where we were able to witness the
successful launch of Falcon 9 a rocket
manufactured by one of NASA's commercial
providers SpaceX did you know that
Kennedy Space Center is home of NASA's
Commercial Crew program the program
provides human access to the
International Space Station and
low-earth orbit by the commercial sector
a particular challenge to NASA has been
how to determine that commercial
providers transportation systems comply
with the programmatic safety
requirements the safety technical review
board refused and approved the hazard
report submitted by the commercial
providers historically
all of these safety critical
verifications were typically confirmed
by NASA alone but this traditional
safety and mission assurance model
doesn't support the nature of the
Commercial Crew program
NASA's solution to this challenge is
implementing a risk-based assurance
process to determine which hazard
control verifications require an asset
authentication for more information
about NASA's risk-based assurance
process you can find the conference
paper titles of the evolution of the
NASA Commercial Crew program mission
assurance process on the nasa technical
report server for mtrs
the mtrs is one of the world's largest
repositories of aerospace SPI and
features records ranging from an app
error to today's cutting-edge research
that's all for today thanks for watching
and we'll see you next time
