<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of specific infrastructure as well as trained and certified human interfaces to monitor, command, and control the range safety elements associated with program flight \/ launch operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Range<\/figure>
\n

Purpose<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To ensure hazard areas for flight and launch activities are implemented to satisfy the range\u2019s risk criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Surveillance<\/strong>
The agreements, procedures, and instrumentation system used during the countdown to ensure range\u2019s land, sea and airspace are clear for launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countdown Procedures<\/strong>
Provides orderly, step-by-step scripting to reduce the amount of real-time judgement required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launch Commit Criteria \/ Mission Rules<\/strong>
Criteria and\/or rules that must be met prior to final approval to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasks Typically Performed by Range Safety Operations<\/strong>
Hazard Areas
– Publicize and implement hazard areas (NOAM\/NTN)
– Provide surveillance
– Airspace, marine and space (collision avoidance)
Conducts launch countdown
Establishes range safety launch commit criteria and \/ or mission rules
Help establish weather launch commit criteria<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Safety Officer functions<\/strong>
For example, during ELV launches, the RSO can take flight termination action if there is:
– Violation of established flight safety criteria (destruct line violation)
– Obvious erratic flight (e.g. tumbling vehicle)
– Unknown performance (e.g. loss of vehicle data)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
