Abstract
There are strong differences between the safety risks of an in-orbit system and its on-ground demonstrator. While safety requirements for the in-orbit are focused on space debris and failure propagation to the satellite and launcher, in case of the ground demonstrator, they are mainly related to human life (mainly personnel related to the project) and facilities. A proper identification and evaluation of safety hazards is essential to ensure that resulting risks are acceptable. This is the case of MIRROR project, an on-ground demonstrator that simulates the in-orbit assembly of a telescope reflector composed of tiles. A Hazard Analysis and safety Risk Assessment (HARA) has been performed in order to identify the relevant hazards and the compensating provisions to keep the risk to an acceptable level.
