The European Space Agency (ESA) has asked DNV to assist with the establishment of ground segment safety requirements for future manned space missions.
“DNV has wide competence on safety issues from a range of industries, and now our core competence is in demand also in the space industry,” explains DNV’s Narve Mjøs. He is responsible for DNV’s space activities.
DNV has previously been involved with several other projects for ESA, and this project builds on DNV’s wide competence on safety. The establishment of ground segment safety requirements for future manned space missions will be carried out on behalf of the European Space Research and Technology Centre – ESTEC – and covers requirements related to hardware, software, systems and operations.
