| Safety Case for NASA Ares Abort Fault Detection, Notification & Response | |

| Dates | October 2008 - September 2011 |
| Problem | The problem we propose to solve is the lack of experience that NASA programs have available when evaluating the appropriateness of using Safety Cases to support certification of software-intensive systems. Starting 40 years ago in the UK, Safety Cases have been increasingly used for product certification in safety critical industries (e.g., nuclear power, railroads, aviation) in Europe. However, the Safety Case concept has not gained traction in the US and specifically it has not been investigated at NASA. We have found no examples in the literature of safety cases in the US. The Constellation Program has not adopted Safety Case, which it views as low-TRL because it has not been applied to NASA or other US aerospace systems. No cases studies have been initiated to develop experience on Safety Cases for NASA space systems. |
| Objective | The primary research goal is to develop a NASA Safety Case Guide?based on a prototype safety case for a Human Rated Constellation application together with guidelines for evaluating the applicability of safety cases based on this experience. |
