WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Nationwide Transportation Security Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration signed an settlement on Friday clarifying the roles of the respective companies in investigating industrial area mishaps.
The NTSB would be the lead investigative company for industrial area launch or reentry mishaps that lead to a demise or critical harm no matter whether or not the particular person was on board the industrial area launch or reentry car.
The NTSB can even take the lead if there may be harm to property not related to the industrial area launch or reentry actions or the launch website or from particles that might moderately be anticipated to trigger demise or critical harm and the FAA would be the lead investigative company for all different industrial area mishaps.
