Large rockets can fail during launch and be very hazardous to the public. Risk analysis methods are necessary to determine the likelihood and magnitude of the risk. This is usually combined into a single measure, casualty expectation, which represents the average number of casualties per launch. Real-time safety controls are introduced and the steps to compute the risk are summarized. Also discussed are alternate risk presentations, level of risk acceptability and methods to mitigate the risk.
