As the commercial space industry takes off, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is seeking to spell out official procedures for safety investigations when things go wrong.
The NTSB proposed a new commercial space investigations rule Tuesday that it says will enhance transportation safety by codifying the agency’s role of conducting safety probes and identifying corrective actions when needed, all with the goal of preventing other incidents in the future. The safety agency is seeking comments through January 18, 2022.
