Space Safety
There are various aspects to space safety - ranging from astronaut and crewed vehicles safety to broader standards of considerable concern for national space agencies, private space entities, and the international community as a whole.
​
Recent increases in commercial space enterprise have raised more frequent and profoundly more serious space safety concerns. These concerns threaten human life and infrastructure - both on and off Earth - through various space projects and coordinated activities. There are at least six dimensions of space safety that ACES Worldwide will pursue to provide new standards and regulatory support to help address space safety concerns.
