Professional technical training: Educating the professional community on space safety best practices

Abstract

The International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS) offers a myriad of courses to educate the space community on safety engineering concepts and accepted best practices. Space safety concepts and methodologies are critical for the safety of occupants and the uninvolved public, alike, yet are not standard contents in academic programs for space science. The IAASS considers the education of the workforce among its core goals and fulfills that mission through the IAASS training academy.
