Human error analysis identifies potential risks in complex systems. Applying these methods to space operations can minimize accidents as missions increase in duration and frequency.

Area of Science:

  • Human-System Interaction
  • Aerospace Safety
  • Risk Management

Background:

  • Human performance is critical in complex systems, with human errors contributing to incidents across various industries.
  • Space operations have a low accident rate due to human error, but this may change with increased flight rates and mission durations.
  • Proactive identification and correction of human errors are necessary to maintain safety in space exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply structured human error analysis methods to identify and mitigate risks in space operations.
  • To assess the impact of human errors on system performance in space missions.
  • To develop strategies for preventing human errors or reducing their consequences in future space systems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized structured methods of human error analysis.
