The Federal Aviation Administrations Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) has formulated and instituted a research and development (R&D) activity to support its mission and the FAAs strategic goal of safety. AST has determined that safety-related research is essential in developing the knowledge necessary to maintain and improve FAA/AST policy and guidance material used to verify that products and procedures adequately comply with FAA/AST safety standards. The purpose of AST safety research, with few exceptions, is not to develop the actual aerospace products, but to support the development of the standards and guidance material needed to meet AST goals and objectives. |
