Аннотация:Launching spacecraft has become an international business: control over the entire set of satellites in near-Earth orbit, providing geolocation, meteorological observation, fast communications and other needs of states. During the Ninth Space Flights Safety Symposium, the problems of Space flight safety were discussed, protective measures was presented and the future strategies were discussed aimed at safe and peaceful Space missions. The following topics were under discussion: fire safety of Space vehicles; protection of Space structures from space debris collisions and micrometeoroids; propulsion systems modeling and simulations; supercomputer predictive modeling for ensuring Space program safety; safety at launch and during landing or splash down.
