Spaceflight Safety

Spaceflight safety refers to the measures and protocols designed to protect astronauts, spacecraft, and supporting systems during a space mission. This includes rigorous testing of spacecraft, thorough training for crew members, and detailed planning for potential emergencies, such as equipment malfunctions or adverse conditions. Safety assessments consider human factors, environmental hazards, and the reliability of technology. By prioritizing safety, space agencies like NASA and ESA aim to minimize risks, ensuring that missions can be conducted successfully while protecting the lives of astronauts and the integrity of scientific objectives.
