Mars Observer Problem / Failure Analysis Collection, 1989-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733102127

The collection arrangement includes 1381 folders in 34 boxes of problem and failure analysis material on the Mars Observer Spacecraft from 1989 through 1995. Collection Organization: The collection contains a primary file folder contractor failure report number commencing with report number 001 through 59014 and continuing with an alpha/numeric series A3065 through P07340. The order of the reports was retained according to the sequential numbering pattern. That includes all JPL internal reports and contractor log reports (General Electric). However, the reports consist of significant recommendation of possible safety problems, failure effects and failure risk. In addition, all manufacturing engineers, system engineers, cognizant section designees, safety engineers (if applicable), reliability engineers, and environmental/reliability engineers; are all required to conduct their individual performance appraisals before the spacecraft is approved for flight and indicate by signature where applicable on the contractor report the results of their findings.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

In 1980, the NASA Advisory Council formed the Solar System Exploration Committee (SSEC) to formulate a long-range program for planetary exploration. This program would build on the scientific strategies developed by the Committee on Lunar and Planetary Exploration of the National Academy of Science's Space Science Board, and would also recognize the fiscal constraints likely to apply to NASA's science program in the foreseeable future. As a result of extensive investigat...
