Welcome to the OSMA Website

Over the past 10 years, the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA) Pressure Systems program facilitated a broader use of the NASGRO^® software for analyzing and sustaining pressure systems. By expanding the capabilities of NASGRO to incorporate Fitness-For-Service of ground-based pressure systems, NASA centers can take advantage of access to perpetual, royalty-free NASGRO licenses that realize a significant cost savings in agencywide software expenses.

The NASA Safety Center Technology and Innovative Solutions Office (TISO) recently created a highly praised custom dashboard for Johnson Space Center’s institutional risk data.

In NASA software projects, requirements form the backbone of success, defining what the software must accomplish, how it should behave and the conditions under which it must operate. These requirements deliver mission-critical functionality and ensure software is developed safely, securely and with adherence to NASA’s stringent quality standards.

Acting Chief of Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) Nathan Vassberg started his aerospace career intending to work with airplanes. Yet early opportunities in SMA opened doors he hadn’t expected, and the work grabbed his interest immediately. That spark and the breadth of SMA work turned into a 35-year career for Vassberg. His experience working on all major human spaceflight programs since the start of his career provides a unique perspective on vehicles, international partnerships and program integration.
