Book Description
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) regulates the emerging Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) industry. Such regulatory efforts are used only to the extent necessary to ensure that industry activities do not jeopardize public health and safety, safety of property, U.S. national security or foreign policy interests, or international obligations of the U.S. Corresponding to the FAA/ASTs regulatory authority, this guide discusses the validation and verification process within the context of safety requirements. This guide provides an acceptable method of safety validation and verification planning. Sample formats illustrating implementation of the validation and verification process are provided. In demonstrating compliance with the RLV regulations, an applicant may use the validation and verification process described in this guide or an equivalent process.
