Aerospace Safety Avisory Panel [[image]]
[[3 Columned Table]]
| Rec. # | Description of Recommendation | Status |
| --- | --- | --- | 
| 2008-02-03 | Modeling and Simulation. On modeling and simulation, a NASA-wide matrix should be created to color-classify models as green, yellow, and red so that a statement of high confidence means the same thing from one NASA Center to another. | Open* |
| 2008-02-04 | NASA Decision Tree for Optimizing the Use of Robotics in Exploration. NASA should formulate a decision tree for optimizing the use of robotics in exploration and thereby diminishing the risks to humans. The decision tree should include all criteria relevant to the decision. | Open* |
| 2008-02-05 | Addition of Traffic Collision Avoidance System to NASA Aircraft. NASA should review the applicability of developing a formal policy to add Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems, advanced ground warning systems, and other advanced avionics programs to appropriate NASA aircraft. | Open* |
| 2008-02-06 | Independent Audits of Private Charter Operators. Prior to contracting with a private charter operator, NASA should consider requiring that all contractors be subject to an independent audit. | Closed |
| 2008-02-07 | Accident Review Timeliness. Accident reviews should be completed more quickly. A rigorous mishap trend analysis should be used to identify causal trends. Senior leaders should be briefed regularly and after initial causal analysis of major mishaps. A closed loop management tracking system should be developed to ensure lessons learned implementation. | Open* |
| 2008-02-08 | NASA Fall Protection Standard. The new NASA Fall Projection Standard (resulting from a 2006 fatal accident) should be accelerated to take effect well before the currently projected 2010-2011, and the key elements of this standard should be mandatory (with waive capability) and NASA-wide rather than advisory. | Open* |
| 2008-03-01 | Assessment of the Marshall Space Flight Center Industrial Safety Program. The staff of the NASA Chief of Safety and Mission Assurance should assess the Agency-wide applicability of Marshall Space Flight Center approaches for implementing a successful industrial safety program. | Closed |
| 2008-03-02 | Industrial Safety Performance Metrics. To expedite ASAP visits, other Centers should present leading and lagging industrial safety performance metrics similar to those tracked by MSFC, giving opportunities to gain a better understanding of safety processes; improve the bases for comparing programs; and support cross-pollination of ideas. | Open* |
* Updates and ASAP monitoring are required.
