The Aerospace Corporation (Aerospace), supported by researchers at George Washington University (GWU) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is pleased to submit this report to Congress on human space flight safety. This independent study was mandated by the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-492) and addressed eight topics specified in the legislation. The study was performed under contract DTFAWA-07-C-00084, Analysis of Human Space Flight Safety, awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to Aerospace on September 27, 2007. missions as safe as possible. Yet despite extraordinary efforts, there have been fatal accidents on the ground and in flight. This experience, spanning nearly five decades, contributes lessons learned for the emerging spaceflight industry as it faces safety challenges and shapes its expectations. At the same time, U.S. government regulators must achieve a balance between protecting participants and the public while allowing industry to evolve creatively and at a pace that responds to the requirements of the business environment. The Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) amendments of December 2004 are intended to promote commercial human spaceflight activities while preserving public safety.
