Crew safety is of paramount importance for future human exploratory spaceflight. In order to ensure optimum safety standards, the design criteria for this new generation of spacecraft must be matured, such as the level of crew safety required. Through a hazard control process assessment, several risk mitigation strategies may be […]
Nano satellites are a relatively new category in the field of satellite technologies and space science. In the past years, several Earth Observations (EO) missions using nano-satellites have been successfully launched and used, forecasts for the upcoming years display an increase of such missions. BGUSAT is an example of such […]
