This is harnessing Osprey's experience in novel and first of type safety cases and use of the graphical representation of safety cases in the space, military and civil domains.

The safety assurance activity will need to consider multiple facets of space launch given the Skylark L’s capability and Skyrora’s complete launch service offering.
