Abstract
This paper aims to present the application of a new systems approach on hazard analysis, called system-theoretic process analysis (STPA) for the launch and rescue operation of the SARA (acronym for atmospheric reentry satellite). In contrast with traditional methods used in the advanced stages of projects that focus on the likelihood of failures occurrence, STPA treats safety as a control problem rather than a failure problem. As a result, the application of this hazard analysis guides the safety-driven design of the launch and rescue operation allowing the anticipation of the safety requirements and design constraints in the early stages of the conception of the SARA launch and rescue operation.
