SSP 30599B, SAFETY REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (FEB 2000)

SSP 30599B, SAFETY REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (FEB 2000)., The purpose of SSP 30599 is to define the safety review process for ISS elements (flight and ground), support equipment, GFE, and ISS visiting vehicles. The Safety Review Panel (SRP) at JSC will execute this process for flight design and operations and the Ground Safety Review Panel (GSRP) at KSC for GSE design and ground operations. These flight and ground panels will address both ISS Program and Space Shuttle Program payload safety review responsibilities as part of a single integrated process that covers all mission phases of the hardware. Integration of ISS and Space Shuttle payload review requirements into a single process ensures effective identification and assessment of safety compliance involving ISS equipment, and minimizes any overlap that could exist if there were different review processes for the various mission phases of ISS hardware elements. The safety review process defined in this document is not applicable to ISS experiment payloads. This document defines the process that NASA has implemented to assess compliance with the ISS safety requirements in SSP 50021, KHB 1700.7, and SSP 50004. The ISS safety reviews are conducted for all mission phases to review and assess the safety hazards related to the design, operations, and functional capabilities of ISS elements, GFE, ISS visiting vehicles, ISS crew return vehicles, support equipment, and the integration of all ISS elements. The safety reviews of ISS experiment payloads are not included within the scope of the process defined by this document. ISS experiment payloads and the on-orbit increment payload complement will be reviewed by the Payload Safety Review Panel (PSRP) in accordance with the process and procedures defined in NSTS/ISS 13830, “Payload Safety Review and Data Submittal Requirements for Payloads using the Space Shuttle/ISS” for assessing compliance with NSTS 1700.7B (Addendum), and by the GSRP for assessing compliance with KHB 1700.7.
