Fig. 2: NASA human system risks—likelihood and consequence rating scale.

From: Red risks for a journey to the red planet: The highest priority human health risks for a mission to Mars

Fig. 2

NASA uses an evidence-based approach to assess likelihood and consequence for each documented human system risk. The matrix used for classifying and prioritizing human system risks has two sets of consequences—the left side shows consequences for in-mission risks while the right side is used to evaluate long-term health consequences (Romero and Francisco)4.
