Abstract:As the regulatory agency assigned the overall responsibility for ensuring
public safety from hazards associated with U.S. commercial space launch
activities, Office of Commercial Space Transportation (OCST) must oversee that
compliance. Licensees using Federal ranges will have to comply with established
Range Safety procedures related to both regulatory and safety requirements.
If such a launch is to be conducted from a commercial facility, OCST will have
to provide more detailed oversight. As an aid to assessing and preparing for
that oversight role, this document addresses: 1. A Technical and Terminology
Review; 2. Typical Applications Relevant to Space or Space Launches;
3. Classifications of Radioactive Sources; 4. Agencies Involved in the Nuclear
Safety Process; 5. Public Concerns and Issues Raised Regarding Past Launches of
Payloads Using Radioactive Materials and 6. Key Safety Issues, as Perceived by
the National Ranges. 25p.
