This viewgraph presentation focuses on the past, present, and future space parts environment. The past environment was characterized by long lead time flagship missions having substantial support from NASA and DOD. The future environment is characterized by many BFC missions, short development cycles, smaller projects and shorter part delivery schedules. These ideas are elaborated upon.
Elements contributing most to failure of system identified quickly. Reliability/Availability Analysis (RELAV) computer program is comprehensive analytical software tool to determine reliability or availability of any general system modeled as embedded k-out-of-n groups of items (components) and/or subgroups. Used to assess performance of system during late testing phase of design of system, to model candidate designs and/or architectures, or to validate and form predictions during early phases of design. C-language program.
