The aerospace community has long recognized and repeatedlyemphasizes the importance of reliability for space systems. Despitethis, little has been published in book form on the topic.Spacecraft Reliability and Multi-state Failures addressesthis gap in the literature, offering a unique focus on spacecraftreliability based on extensive statistical analysis of system andsubsystem anomalies and failures.
The authors provide new results pertaining to spacecraftreliability based on extensive statistical analysis of on-orbitanomaly and failure data that will be particularly useful tospacecraft manufacturers and designers, for example in guidingsatellite (and subsystem) test and screening programs and providingan empirical basis for subsystem redundancy and reliability growthplans. The authors develop nonparametric results and parametricmodels of spacecraft and spacecraft subsystem reliability andmulti-state failures, quantify the relative contribution of eachsubsystem to the failure of the satellites thus identifying thesubsystems that drive spacecraft unreliability, and proposeadvanced stochastic modeling and analysis tools for the reliabilityand survivability of spacecraft and space-based networks.
