Abstract
In the framework of the European Co-operation for Space Standardisation (ECSS), the ECSS-Q-40 Space Safety -standard has been established and contains requirements on safety analysis as part of a systematic safety program. Hazard analysis and safety risk assesment constitute the backbone of safety analysis and are addressed in two new standards, namely ECSS-Q-40-02 and ECSS-Q-40-03. The present paper briefly discusses the perspective and the intented role of the two new standards. The members of the ECSS-Q-40-02/-03 working group have jointly prepared the paper.
