This change
Provides guidance on a simplified method for performing a Far-Field Blast Overpressure (FFBO) blast effects analysis as part of a flight safety analysis in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 450.137. It is intended to assist prospective applicants in obtaining commercial space authorizations and operating in compliance with commercial space regulations for operations where FFBO hazards are de minimis (negligible). Specifically, this AC provides a method for applicants to screen the FFBO hazards associated with their flight and, where those hazards are negligible, to tailor their FFBO analysis in a manner that meets §§ 450.137(a)(1) and (b). In accordance with §450.137(a), an applicant who elects to perform their FFBO analysis prior to the day of theoperation does not need to analyze FFBO risk during the countdown as well.

7.6.4 T o identify the extent of the region that includes population centers and potentially inhabited structures that could be susceptible to an FFBO hazard, the applicant should compute the distance between the maximum credible explosive yield event location for each phase of flight and the point where the peak incident overpressure would not exceed 200 Pa under focusing conditions with a focus factor equal to 2.0, referred to here as the maximum range of the FFBO hazard. Figure 4 of this AC (replicated from Figure 5.2.5 of the IAASS publication) shows that the 69 Pa (0.01 psi) peak incident overpressure threshold corresponds to a negligible probability of breakage for typical populations surrounding the two major launch sites in the U.S. In addition, ANSI Standard S2.20-19836 reported this threshold peak incident overpressure corresponds “in practice to the threshold level at which claims for window damage begin” based on recordings from nuclear tests.

7.6.5 A screening analysis should use the following equation (which is equation 14 in the IAASS publication) to compute the distance from between the maximum credible explosive yield event location for each phase of flight and the point where the peak incident overpressure would not exceed 69 Pa under focusing conditions with a focus factor equal to 2.0.

∆𝑃𝑃 = �𝐹𝐹𝑠𝑠𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑖�1.864(105)(𝐹𝐹𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝑊𝑊)0.4𝑅𝑅−1.2 ∆𝑃𝑃 = Incident peak blast overpressure in Pascals (Pa) 𝐹𝐹𝑠𝑠𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑖 = Focus factor 𝑅𝑅 = Nearest distance from explosion to population center in meters 𝑊𝑊 = Net explosive yield (charge weight) in kg TNT 𝐹𝐹𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 = Height of Burst factor, which is 2 for a ground explosion

7.6.6 A screening analysis should use a Height of Burst factor of 2, which conservatively represents a perfect reflection from a hard surface.

7.6.7 For each phase of flight where an explosion is foreseeable, the screening method should identify the population centers within the maximum range of the FFBO hazard of the maximum credible explosive event. In addition, for any single potentially inhabited structure within the distance defined by the “no-damage yield” for a single residence based on Figure 5 of this AC (replicated from Figure 5.2.3 of the IAASS publication), the screening method should identify the number, size, and type of windows that face within 90 degrees of the azimuth from the maximum credible explosive yield location to the single structure location. The screening analysis should identify windows of different types and differentiate between annealed, tempered, dual paned and film covered. Window size categories should be based on typical windows found in the local populated areas and differentiate between pane areas that differ by a factor of two at the most.

7.6.8 I f the total area of annealed glass panes that face the maximum credible explosive yield location for a given phase of flight exceeds 40 square feet (which is typical for a residence), then the screening method described in this AC cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of § 450.137 for that phase of flight.

7.6.9 Populations located in vehicles that meet U.S. standards need not be accounted for in an FFBO screening analysis (because the glass used in U.S. vehicles are not a credible source of FFBO hazards). The FFBO can also ignore any population centers that would be subject to a peak incident overpressure above 1.0 psi or 6894 Pascal (Pa), given the maximum credible explosive event because § 450.137(b)(3) requires the FFBO analysis to account for the potential for broken windows due to peak incident overpressures below 1.0 psi only. However, any population center exposed to a peak incident overpressure above 1.0 psi given the maximum credible explosive event, including people in vehicles that meet U.S. standards, would generally need to be accounted for in the debris risk analysis in accordance with § 450.135.

7.7 Deterministic Screening Method.

7.7.1 If the maximum credible yield input (developed in accordance with paragraph 7.5 of this AC) to the deterministic no-damage yield analysis (shown in Figure 5 of this AC) indicates that no public population centers are vulnerable to window breakage, then the hazards from FFBO are negligible, and the FFBO analysis complies with §§ 450.137(a)(1) and (b) based on this deterministic screening method.

7.7.2 A simple example of the deterministic screening method results is summarized in Table 2 of this AC. In this case, the maximum credible yield was determined to be 1,000 Kg TNT equivalent at the launch point. The closest population centers are

1. A single residence 3 km away from the launch point,

2. A village of 100 people 8 km away from the launch point,

3. A small town of 10,000 people 40 km away from the launch point, and

4. A city of 1,000,000 people 150 km away.

7.7.3 This is an example where the deterministic method demonstrates negligible FFBO risks because the actual distance from the closest edge of each population center to the location of the maximum credible yield event exceeds the distance corresponding to the “no damage yield” given by Figure 5 of this AC as shown in the Table 2.

8.2 Explosive Yield-Probability Pairs.

8.2.1 In accordance with § 450.137(c)(2), a far-field overpressure risk analysis must include a description of the methods used to compute the foreseeable blast yields probability pairs, and the complete set of yield-probability pairs, which are used as input to the far-field overpressure risk computations. Thus, an FFBO should include a description of how the explosive yield was computed for all phases of flight where an FFBO hazard was analyzed.

8.3 Overpressure Computations.

8.3.1 In accordance with § 450.137(c)(3), a far-field overpressure risk analysis must include a description of the methods used to compute peak incident overpressures as a function of distance from the explosion and prevailing meteorological conditions, including sample calculations for a representative set of the foreseeable meteorological conditions, yields, and population center distances from the explosion.

8.3.2 For a screening analysis performed in accordance with this AC, an FFBO analysis should:

1. Identify the equation used to peak incident overpressures as a function of distance

(i.e., equation).

2. A list of the input and output values for the equation used to compute the peak incident overpressure for each of the closest population centers that have populations of at least 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 people, as well as the closest single potentially inhabited structure.

3. List the maximum range of the FFBO hazard analysis for each phase of flight.

4. Note that the prevailing meteorological conditions were conservatively assumed to produce caustic focusing on every population center within the maximum range of the FFBO hazard for each phase of flight.

8.4 Wi ndow Breakage.

In accordance with § 450.137(c)(4), a far-field overpressure risk analysis must include a description of the methods used to compute the probability of window breakage. For a screening analysis performed in accordance with this AC, an FFBO analysis should state that the probability of breakage was based on the glass damage model described in ANSI Standard S2.20-1983.

8.5 Probability of Casualty Computations.

In accordance with § 450.137(c)(5), a far-field overpressure risk analysis must include a description of the methods used to compute the probability of casualty for a representative individual, including tabular data and graphs for the probability of casualty, as a function of location relative to the window and the peak incident overpressure for a representative range of window types, building types, and yields accounted for. For a screening analysis performed in accordance with this AC, an FFBO analysis should state that the method assumes that no casualties can occur from the maximum credible yield for each phase of flight because every population center within the maximum range of the FFBO hazard is located beyond “no-damage yield” range based on Figure 5 of this AC (replicated from Figure 5.2.3 of the IAASS publication).9 9 Allahdadi, Firooz A., Isabelle Rongier, Tommaso Sgobba, and Paul D. Wilde, Safety Design for Space Operations, Sponsored by The International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety, Elsevier, Watham, MA, dated 2013.

8.6 P robability of Casualty Threshold Locations.

In accordance with § 450.137(c)(6), a far-field overpressure risk analysis must include tabular data and graphs showing the location of any individual member of the public that could be exposed to a probability of casualty of 1 × 10-5 or greater for neighboring operations personnel, and 1 × 10-6 or greater for other members of the public, given foreseeable meteorological conditions, yields, and population exposures. For a screening analysis performed in accordance with this AC, an FFBO analysis should state that no individuals will be exposed to a probability of casualty of 1 × 10-5 or greater for neighboring operations personnel, and 1 × 10-6 or greater for other members of the public because every population center within the maximum range of the FFBO hazard is located beyond “no-damage yield” range based on Figure 5 of this AC (replicated from Figure 5.2.3 of the IAASS publication).

8.7 Maximum Expected Casualties.

In accordance with § 450.137(c)(7), a far-field overpressure risk analysis must include the maximum expected casualties that could result from far-field overpressure hazards, given foreseeable meteorological conditions, yields, and population exposures. For a screening analysis performed in accordance with this AC, an FFBO analysis should state that the maximum expected casualties that could result from far-field overpressure hazards in any phase of flight is no more than 1E-6 because every population center within the maximum range of the FFBO hazard is located beyond “no-damage yield” range based on Figure 5 of this AC (replicated from Figure 5.2.3 of the IAASS publication).

8.8 Meteorological Measurements.

In accordance with § 450.137(c)(8), a far-field overpressure risk analysis must include a description of the meteorological measurements used. For a screening analysis performed in accordance with this AC, an FFBO analysis should state no meteorological measurements will be used because every population center within the maximum range of the FFBO hazard is located beyond “no-damage yield” range based on Figure 5 of this AC (replicated from Figure 5.2.3 of the IAASS publication).
