OOPS!

Not the word you want to hear when you start operating a system on the ground or on orbit. It's a short word that can represent a wide range of possible damage, injury, and loss. However, between the 'O' and the 'S' there is an 'OP' which stands for opportunity. Before a system is built, designers have the opportunity to assess the hazards associated with their hardware, the propellants being used, the use environment, or whatever other factors are pertinent. Once the hazards are known, a system can be designed that you and others can "LIVE" with.

At the White Sands Test Facility, hazards assessment is a large part of what we do for NASA, the Department of Defense, aerospace and other areas of industry. What OOPS are you trying to avoid?
