Orbita Prime – Human Readiness & Safety Framework for Space Activities (v1.0)

This document presents the Orbita Prime – Human Readiness & Safety Framework for Space Activities (v1.0), a comprehensive policy architecture designed to integrate human-centered safety, readiness, and institutional responsibility into the rapidly evolving space sector. As space activities transition from state-led missions to a complex ecosystem involving commercial operators, private companies, and civilian participants, existing governance models remain predominantly focused on technical performance and engineering standards. The human dimension — including physical preparedness, psychological resilience, and post-mission reintegration — remains insufficiently addressed. This framework responds to that gap by introducing a structured, human-centered approach across three key phases of space participation: – Pre-Mission Readiness (medical assessment, psychological evaluation, informed consent) – In-Mission Safety (monitoring systems, emergency response, support mechanisms) – Post-Mission Reintegration (rehabilitation, long-term health monitoring, psychological support) In addition, the framework emphasizes institutional accountability, defining the roles of states, private actors, and international bodies in ensuring safety, transparency, and responsibility. This document builds upon a series of previously published conceptual and policy papers, integrating them into a unified framework, including: – Human Readiness & Institutional Responsibility – Orbita Prime Framework – Institutional Pathways – Post-Mission Readiness The framework is intended as a basis for international dialogue and policy development with institutions, including the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), European bodies, and global stakeholders working on space governance and human safety.
