have to work hard on competitive analysis, market testing, and be really clear about what you want to achieve. “Changing the change in an organisation is not always
easy or quick. However, with the right mission and the right goals you can make it happen.”
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION AND THE HUMAN CAPACITY TO OVERCOME EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES The 2010 Copiapó mining accident, also known as the Chilean mining accident, trapped 33 miners underground for 69 days, capturing global attention and resulting in a remarkable rescue effort. On August 5, 2010, a cave-in occurred at the San

the International Space Station have to be prepared for a major accident, for example, a heart attack or stroke. In such circumstances, telemedicine becomes the only option – with astronauts needing to be trained to carry out emergency medical procedures. In order to train for this, astronauts shadow ambulance crews and A&E teams in order to learn procedures that need to be done in an emergency.” This training can also be applied in the wider world.
Astronauts have helped medics develop telemedicine systems which are able to give people medical advice over satellite in order to enable lay people to treat themselves or treat their colleagues. This is now used in hardship locations such as Canada
and Australia where access by road is not possible and people are far from medical centres.
ACCEPT WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL, AND WORK AROUND WHAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL Often issues around funding can be technical and difficult. In the US space business, government funding is on a different cycle to the election of the political leaders and this can sometime make forward planning more tricky. “We can’t change that,” says Tony. “Work on what you
can control and concentrate on making it a success. If your long-term goal or mission has gone awry, then pause, reset, and figure out what is needed.” Regular reviews will ensure you stay focussed, and
once you pick worthy goals you will find it easier to draw in and maintain talent, something that is a challenge in today’s business economy.
BE MINDFUL OF DETAILS, BUT DON’T LOSE SIGHT OF THE BIGGER PICTURE NASA tests everything from the smallest resistors to how human teams will cope under intense pressure. However, you cannot anticipate everything that will happen, and some risk will always remain. “You can assess and manage risk and do additional
testing or analysis, but the final decision is about the risk- reward trade off,” he says. “This is a risky business and we do a lot of testing and
a lot of analysis to come up with reasonable statistical models of how these components are going to perform. In the business world, if your mission really is out there on the edge from a risk perspective, then you are going to

José mine, leaving the miners trapped approximately 2,300 feet (700 metres) below the surface. The collapse was caused by a massive rockfall, blocking the access shaft and preventing the miners from escaping. The initial shockwave caused extensive damage, leaving the miners stranded in a confined space with limited provisions. The rescue operation continued for several weeks,
focusing on providing the miners with necessary supplies, medical assistance, and psychological support. The miners were able to establish communication with their families and the outside world through video and audio transmissions sent through narrow boreholes. The Chilean government, mining experts, and
international teams immediately focused on locating the miners, providing them with essential supplies, and maintaining their physical and mental wellbeing. A team of psychologists was sent to support the miners and help them cope with the stressful and challenging situation. Assisting the rescue teams and mining experts were astronauts from NASA, who were able to advise on how to help the miners cope with the psychological effects of being isolated and trapped. “The simulation of space landing and space walking
is repeated hundreds of times in preparation for the real event,” Tony says. “The team prepare meticulously for each event and every single move is drawn out and choreographed down to the detail of which hand you use to pass a tool or execute a task. Even so, just because something works here on Earth, you can’t assume when you take it to space, it’s going to work, so you need to prepare a fallback position too. It is about detailed and specific preparation, and building in alternatives if something does not go to plan.”
