Abstract
This paper aims to examine the personalities of people currently working in the delivery of space projects. The study employed an online survey which included twenty-fi ve Likert scale questions based on risk decision scenarios and personality questions. A total of 50 responses were collected from people with experience in the delivery of space projects. The results of this study suggest that people who have experience in space project delivery have a high level and long term view, are fair and pleasing, extroverted and logical decision takers, prefer to freeze scope and respect deadlines and to make team consensus decisions. The results also show that the respondents are prepared to make risky decisions depending on the situation and case.
