The International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS) Suborbital Safety Technical Committee (SS TC) is represented by 20 individuals from Suborbital companies and IAASS members with related expertise, as well as ‘listening’ members from regulatory authorities/agencies. The SS TC has been working on safety guidelines to address the various ‘gaps’ and issues for the emerging Suborbital Industry. At the 6th IAASS Conference the SS TC presented the initial set of draft guidelines. These were ratified at a workshop in January 2013 and were produces as Issue 1 of the SS TC’s Guidance Manual. Since then the TC members have continued to work on the agreed next set of guidelines and these included: framework for suborbital vertical launch vehicles, suborbital survival systems & equipment, safety guidelines for hybrid propulsion systems, integration of suborbital flights into the Air Traffic Management System, suborbital pressure vessels and suborbital software/hardware requirements definition. This paper presents a summary of the Guidance Manual at (Draft) Issue 2.
