NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general.
At the heart of NASA is exploration and with exploration comes risk. These risks take many forms and fundamental to every mission requirement is safety. If it cannot be done safely then it will not be done at all. Therefore safety issues touch every aspect of risk management within NASA mission, irrespective or importance, location or budget.
Following a review of the risk management solutions available, NASA selected Active Risk Manager as the technical solution for the management processes associated with safety, performance, cost, and schedule risks.
