Abstract

Reliability program is essential to the development of space systems like launch vehicles and satellites, as they are non-repairable after launch and the failure of a launch vehicle resulted in catastrophic consequences for the mission. Foreign advanced space organizations have developed and implemented their own reliability management programs for launch vehicles from the conceptual design stage to the detail processes for the individual components, procedures and test reports. A study on the launch failures and the reliability analysis methods for one-shot devices contained in this paper will contribute to the reliability improvement for Korean launch vehicle and components.
