Hello everyone!
For the Norwegian Association of Amateur Rocketry, I am currently setting up a systematic method for analysing risks connected to rockets and rocket launches. The hobby is not very well established here i Norway, so we have a lot of convincing to do in terms of the aviation authorities and other functions that we would need permits from. In this regard, I am pulling together a spreadsheet with all the stuff that can go wrong during a rocket launch to assess the risk. This is first based on identifying the activity, describing the possible adverse effects, assessing the severity, probability and finally ending up with the risk and possible mitigation that can lower the risk. The spreadsheet that we use can be found here (HMS#DPR1): https://nraf.no/wp/index.php/risikoanalyse/. It is in Norwegian, but you get the picture I hope...
I want to ask the following from the audience: What can go wrong during a rocket launch, and what can be the possible outcome? Here are some suggestions to get you started. Can you think of more?
- Failure to open drogue chute
- Failure to open main chute
- Failure to open both chutes (going ballistic!)
- CATO
- Loss of fins (what will happen, and what is the possible consequence?)
- Shred
- Rip
Best regards
