Research on Data-Driven Safety Management System for Space Risks in the New Space Era

With the advent of the Newspace era and the importance of systematic safety management for the unique hazards of the space environment has been highlighted. Conventional safety management approaches have limitations in effectively responding to complex and real-time evolving space risks. This study proposes the necessity of establishing a data-driven and systematic space risk safety management system to protect human lives and assets and ensure the sustainability of space activities. By analyzing the definition and current status of space risks and examining the limitations of existing safety management methods, this research emphasizes the significance of a data-driven risk management system specifically tailored for the space sector. Such a system plays a crucial role in various aspects, including enhancing mission success rates, protecting lives and assets, preventing accidents and providing early warnings, enabling integrated risk analysis across systems, and establishing a robust safety culture. Ultimately, this study aims to contribute to the formulation and implementation of comprehensive space safety management policies for safe and sustainable space development and activities in the Newspace era.
