SSP 30599D, SAFETY REVIEW PROCESS - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROGRAM (SEP 2006)

SSP 30599D, SAFETY REVIEW PROCESS - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROGRAM (SEP 2006). This document defines the process to assess compliance with the ISS safety requirements in SSP 50021 and KHB 1700.7. 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 requirements for IP elements are contained in the applicable IP segment specification. IP segment specifications are derived from the SSP 50021 (Flight) and KHB 1700.7 (Ground Operations at KSC) safety requirements through bilateral negotiations with NASA. This document does not address the safety process for assuring ground and launch phase hazards for cargo or ISS elements launched on ISS visiting vehicles other than the United States (U.S.) orbiter. Hardware providers must meet the safety requirements and follow the safety processes of the launch vehicle safety authority. 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, Safety Policy and Requirements for Payloads Using the International Space Station (ISS Addendum), and by the GSRP for assessing compliance with KHB 1700.7.
