Some reports have estimated that "crew error" in aviation contributes 65% to 70% of all serious accidents.
Government space agencies, established by governments of countries and regional agencies (groupings of countries) are established as a means for advocating for engaging in activities related to outer space, exploitation of space systems, and/or space exploration.

A needs chain model is a framework that allows organizations to simultaneously consider the individuals' needs within an organization, and the organization's needs, in order to prioritise resources and identify areas of improvement for the organization. [9] A needs chain model is composed of aligned horizontal and vertical processes.
The CDF is mainly in charge of performing the assessment studies of future missions for the European Space Agency.These assessment studies are performed in the early phases of mission and spacecraft design; the so-called "Phase 0" or "Pre-phase A" of the ESA Project Phases [1] in which needs are identified and Mission Analysis is performed.
