Mechanical Ground Support Equipments (MGSE) for ARSAT-1 Hazard Analysis

A hazard analysis was made to identify potential hazards in Mechanical Ground Support Equipments (MGSE) for ARSAT-1, a geostationary communications satellite that will be operated by AR-SAT and constructed by INVAP. This analysis was made in order to identify possible hazards on these MGSE and their causes together with the hazard controls and safety verification methods. The safety relevant time includes ground operations.
