When conducting missions, balancing performance, risk, cost and schedule is a constant challenge.

NASA/SP-2014-612, NASA System Safety Handbook, Volume 2: System Safety Concepts, Guidelines, and Implementation Examples has now been released. It is the second of two volumes that collectively comprise the NASA System Safety Handbook. 

A multi-center Safety and Mission Assurance team, led by Ames Research Center, collaborated to provide oversight to the LADEE mission.

Ames Research Center's Mission Assurance System helps safety engineers assess and control risk both on earth and aboard the International Space Station.

NASA’s Office of Safety and Mission Assurance debuted the new “System Safety II” training course, which presents the new NASA System Safety framework, on Jan. 22-23, 2014.
