Description
Reliability and maintainability requirements for reusable space vehicles are more nearly those for an airplane than for a single-use missile or space vehicle.
Commercial aircraft philosophies of optimum redundancy, dispatch with components inoperative, in-flight fault isolation, and on-condition maintenance, and the considerations necessary in applying them to reusable space vehicles are presented.
A reliability and maintainability design philosophy for reusable space vehicles is developed, based on trade-offs that are a function of the vehicle mission parameters.
