Spaceworthiness

Spaceworthiness^[2]^[3]^[4] (tradução literal: "espaçonavegabilidade" ou "aeroespaçonavegabilidade"^[5], "navegabilidade espacial" ou "navegabilidade aeroespacial"), é, por extensão dos conceitos de navegabilidade, referente a barcos e navios, e de aeronavegabilidade, referente a aeronaves, a propriedade, ou capacidade de uma espaçonave realizar um voo seguro, ou navegar com segurança no espaço sideral. Pode significar também, em um sentido mais amplo, a capacidade de uma região do espaço sideral ser livremente navegável por espaçonaves, sem obstáculos ou restrições intransponíveis.

À semelhança da aeronavegabilidade, essa característica de uma espaçonave depende de, ao menos, três componentes básicos^[6]^[7]:

a certificação do projeto da espaçonave, que engloba atividades de avaliação de engenharia, simulações, testes em laboratório e com protótipos, e voos experimentais^[8]^[9];
a certificação da fabricação, em que se procura assegurar que a espaçonave sai da montagem em conformidade com o projeto certificado;
a manutenção da espaçonave, após sua fabricação, antes e durante cada missão de voo.

A espaçonavegabilidade deve ser continuamente mantida através de um programa de manutenção periódica, preventiva ou preditiva, e/ou com o auxílio de um sistema de análise, diagnóstico e gerenciamento da "saúde" e confiabilidade da espaçonave^[10]^[11].
