Tommaso Sgobba is Executive Director and Board Secretary of IAASS
(International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety).
Tommaso Sgobba has been IAASS first President in the period
2005-2013. Until June 2013 Tommaso Sgobba has been responsible for
flight safety at the European Space Agency (ESA), including
human-rated systems, spacecraft re-entries, space debris, use of
nuclear power sources, and planetary protection. He joined the
European Space Agency in 1989, after 13 years in the aeronautical
industry. Initially he supported the developments of the Ariane 5
launcher, several earth observation and meteorological satellites,
and the early phase of the European Hermes spaceplane. Later he
became _Product Assurance and Safety Manager for all European
manned missions on Shuttle, MIR station, and for the European
research facilities of the International Space Station. He chaired
for 10 years the ESA ISS Payload Safety Review Panel. He was also
instrumental in setting up the ESA Re-entry Safety Review Panel.
Tommaso Sgobba holds an M.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from the
Polytechnic of Turin (Italy), where he was also professor of space
system safety (1999-2001). He has published several articles and
papers on space safety, and co-edited the text book “Safety Design
for Space Systems, published in 2009 by Elsevier, that was also
published later in Chinese. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the books
“Safety Design for Space Operations (2013) and “Space Safety and
Human Performance (2017) also published by Elsevier. He is
Managing Editor of the Journal of Space Safety Engineering and
member of the editorial board of the Space Safety Magazine. Tommaso
Sgobba is the inventor (patent pending) of the R-DBAS (Re-entry,
Direct Broadcasting Alert System), to alert the air traffic of
falling fragments from uncontrolled space system re-entry. Tommaso
Sgobba received the NASA recognition for outstanding contribution
to the International Space Station in 2004, and the prestigious
NASA Space Flight Awareness (SFA) Award in 2007. Dr. Barbara Kanki
served as a Research Scientist at the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), Ames Research Center (Moffett Field,
California) in the Human Systems Integration Division. Over her
tenure of more than 25 years, she conducted human performance
research in support of NASA Aviation Safety Programs, Human Factors
and Performance for Space Safety, and a variety of Human Factors
programs for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In a
consulting role she worked with other high risk industries such as
the medical and nuclear power fields.
Dr. Kanki’s research activities have ranged across human factors
topics such as crew communication and coordination, organizational
factors, information and workload management for aviation
operations including flight crews, ground control, and technical
operations. Her research interests include human-centered procedure
and document design, integration and training for new technologies
as well as safety topics such as voluntary reporting and event
investigation. She has supported the space side of NASA in human
and socio-technical risk factors, team training, and procedure
design primarily for the space shuttle program at Kennedy Space
Center and has participated on NASA mishap boards, safety
assessments and National Transportation Safety Board human
performance investigations. After retiring from NASA in 2014, Dr.
Kanki continues to contribute to NASA projects and FAA/industry
groups, and is the current chair of the Human Performance working
group of the International Association for the Advancement of Space
Safety.
Dr. Kanki received her doctorate in Behavioral Sciences from the
University of Chicago, where she specialized in the areas of
communication and group dynamics. She continues to author, edit,
and review books, journals, and papers on human factors topics.
Jean –Francois Clervoy, is an ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut
from France and brigadier general from DGA (French Defense
Procurement Agency), served as a mission specialist twice aboard
the Space Shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-66 to study the
atmosphere, and on mission STS-84 to re-supply the Russian space
station Mir, and as a flight engineer aboard the Space Shuttle
Discovery on mission STS-103 to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
He has logged 28 days and 3 hours in 439 earth orbits. Since 2001
he has worked as a senior advisor astronaut for the ESA human space
flight programs including the ATV Jules Verne project to re-supply
the International Space Station. Still active in the European
astronaut corps, he works also as Chairman of Novespace, a company
which organizes parabolic flights with its Airbus ZERO-G for
microgravity research and for public weightlessness discovery
flights. Dr. Sandal is a professor of psychology at the Faculty of
Psychology, University of Bergen in Norway where she is a leader of
a unit, the Society and Workplace Diversity Research Group. Her
fields of expertise are work and organizational psychology, stress
and coping, and cross-cultural psychology. Since the early 1990s,
Gro Mjeldheim Sandal has been the Principal Investigator of large
scales research projects funded by the European Space Agency
focusing on psychological reactions during human spaceflights. The
projects have included a number of simulation studies of
multicultural crews isolated in hyperbaric chambers and personnel
operating in other extreme environments (Antarctic research
stations, polar expeditions, military settings, oil and
gas-platforms). She is currently leading a psychological experiment
on the ISS in collaboration with colleagues working for the Russian
Space Agency. Her recent research has focused on the implications
of individual and cultural differences in values for efficient
co-working among crews in space as well as among ground-based
personnel. A major aim of her research in space and analogue
environments is to gain knowledge that can be applied for
selection, training, and in-flight support.
