| Aware |
- Can describe key terms, fundamental concepts, and introductory tools (e.g. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault-Tree Analysis (FTA)) for safety and failure modes analysis.
- Can identify common failure modes in space systems, such as thermal, structural, or electronic failures, and the importance of evaluating their likelihood and impact.
- Can describe basic mitigation strategies and the significance of adhering to space industry standards.
|
| Practitioner |
- Can use tools like FMEA and FTA to identify and assess potential failure points, considering the likelihood and impact on system performance.
- Can develop and implement solutions to mitigate risks, ensuring that safety considerations are integrated into the design process.
- Can communicate risks and mitigations clearly to stakeholders and update safety plans across the project lifecycle.
|
| Senior Practitioner |
- Can align safety strategies with mission objectives, balancing cost, risk, and performance trade-offs.
- Can optimise safety measures by integrating them into test plans, such as thermal-vacuum, shock, and vibration testing, to validate mitigation strategies.
- Can track risks and opportunities across the project lifecycle and ensures compliance with safety standards and regulations.
|
| Expert |
- Can lead teams in performing advanced safety and failure modes analyses using quantitative techniques (e.g. Monte Carlo simulations, reliability modelling).
- Can use predictive analytics and digital twins to anticipate and address potential design failures.
- Can contribute to the development of industry-wide standards and best practices for safety and reliability in space systems.
