This paper presents an approach and corresponding tool to assess and analyze the risks involved in a mission during the pre-phase A design process. This approach is based on creating a risk template for each subsystem ...

This paper explains the goals and challenges of NASA's risk communication efforts and how the Aerospace Systems Engineering Process (ASEP) was used to map the risk communication strategy used at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ...

This paper summarizes key findings related to methods for the risk considerations of autonomy software. Existing methods for Verification and Validation (V&V) of autonomy software are summarized and a method for the assurance ...

Incorporating risk assessment into the dynamic environment of a concurrent engineering team requires rapid response and adaptation. Generating consistent risk lists with inputs from all the relevant subsystems and presenting ...

This paper discusses the beginnings of risk management at JPL, the lessons learned from those experiences, and the evolution to the current process.

The implementation of dynamic power conversion technology in Radioisotope Power Systems (RPS) for spaceflight has potential for improved specific power and efficiency, compared with existing Radioisotope Thermoelectric ...

Processes, just like any project, are designed to meet a set of requirements.
