Nigel Packham, Associate Director, Safety and Mission Assurance at Nasa Johnson Space Centre delivered a compelling presentation at the 12th Annual Focus Network - OHS Leaders Australia Summit 2024 about the "Management of Risk, Land, Sea and Air". Assessing safety in human spaceflight poses a unique challenge, it's certainly not safe. Instead, organizations like NASA adopt a pragmatic approach, focusing on whether an action is "safe enough" rather than entirely risk-free. This entails identifying and mitigating potential risks to a level deemed acceptable, often quantifying them in terms of likelihood. For instance, while the risk of losing a crew in spaceflight typically ranges from 1:200 to 1:250, early missions like STS-1 in 1981 carried a higher estimated risk, between 1:1,000 and 1:10,000. This presentation explored risk management strategies across diverse industries, drawing parallels and distinctions with those employed in human spaceflight. #ohsleaders #OHSLeaders #ohsdirectors #safety #workplacehealthandsafety #leadership #safetyatwork #focusnetwork #forums #ohsleadership #innovation #sponsors #sponsorship #focusnetworkevents #speakers #keynotepresentations

More than 400 years of curiosity – and counting! 🚀 🔭 When humans first looked up at Mars in the 17th century, an age of fascination was launched, propelling research and innovation. 📸 Precisely 60 years ago, the Mariner 4 spacecraft was launched, which succeeded the first flyby of Mars and the first close-up pictures of the planet. 🛰️ Over 20 years ago, European Space Agency - ESA’s Mars Express arrived in orbit. Built by Airbus Defence and Space, the satellite continues to provide stunning three-dimensional views of Mars, in addition to mapping the chemical composition of its atmosphere and finding water on the planet! #MarsExpress has also been vital in enabling communications with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration‘s Mars Perseverance Rover, which has been further exploring the planet for almost 4 years. #innovation #TeamAirbus #Mars Airbus

Launched at 10:52 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, this mission is a testament to human ingenuity and the spirit of collaboration. Aboard the Starliner, veteran NASA astronauts Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore and Sunita ‘Suni’ Williams are embarking on a historic journey to the International Space Station (ISS). With a combined experience of over 11,000 flight hours, these former U.S. Navy test pilots are set to spend eight days conducting tests to certify the Starliner for operational missions. This mission marks the first time astronauts have launched atop a ULA Atlas V rocket, a milestone in commercial spaceflight. As we witness the Starliner soar into the cosmos, we’re reminded of our shared mission to make space accessible to all. Here’s to the future of space travel, where diversity and inclusivity are not just goals, but realities.

Elon Musk’s rise into Donald Trump’s political orbit in 2024 has overshadowed another milestone this year for the world’s richest man: His space business has launched more rockets than ever, further establishing itself as an indispensable workhorse for NASA and the U.S. military. As of this week, Musk’s SpaceX had completed 112 launches this year — equating to roughly one every three days — an unprecedented pace in the history of spaceflight and already a 16% increase over the 96 launches it performed in 2023, according to data compiled by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). https://lnkd.in/eB5SgJy2
