The Mapping of Aerospace Meteorology in the Brazilian Space Program: Challenges and Opportunities for Rocket Launch

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The meteorological and oceanographic conditions are crucial for the successful launch of aerospace vehicles. However, the decision-making process using environmental information is a complex problem, since it depends on a constant review of current and future weather conditions. To understand this process in the Brazilian Space Program (BSP) context, this paper aims to be the first attempt to map out the systemic view of applied meteorology for the launch missions of aerospace vehicles. Various Brazil… Show more

“…A complete description of step 1 can be found in Caruzzo et al . (). After that, the proposed methodology was developed in three additional steps, the details of which are the subject of this paper: step 2: identification of the weather‐related risk preference, construction of attribute value functions and definition of a partial (wdi, for each variable) and global (WDI, multi‐criteria approach) weather decision index to transform meteorological information into an index; step 3: construction of several weather scenarios according to hazard impact levels and identification of the set of actions and/or mitigation plan for each scenario from the stakeholders; action/mitigation evaluation and sensitivity analysis of alternatives, and step 4: recommendations of actions/plans during the weather forecast lead‐time as a numerical scale and according to the decision maker's profile. …”
