Pre-Launch Diagnostics for Launch Vehicles

2008 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2008
This paper discusses the opportunities for automating pre-launch fault detection and diagnostics for launch vehicles, by using ground-based computers to analyze data obtained from the pre-launch umbilical during integrated test and launch countdown operations in near-real time. Automation will improve the time to diagnose and isolate failures, which is

Risk assessment of satellite launch with reusable launch vehicle

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2001
Abstract A new methodology is developed for assessing the risk associated with launching satellites in space by use of Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs). The objective is to assess the Maximum Probable Loss (MPL) for third party insurance purposes, which is a requirement for licensing of private operators. Launch industry convention has been to execute
