ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROBLEM REPORTS FOR INSIGHTS INTO SPACECRAFT INTEGRATED ACCEPTANCE TESTING EFFECTIVENESS

摘要

This paper presents the methodology used to collect International Space Station (ISS) hardware failure data to be provided to a NASA study. The objective of this collection task was to assemble historical data that could be used in evaluating the value of integrated system level environmental acceptance testing for NASA's Orion spacecraft. The primary data sources were the ISS Problem Reporting and Corrective Action system and Maintenance Data Collection system. The information retrieval process proceeded through an automated data processing phase followed by a manual phase of close analysis of individual reports. The steps in this process are detailed, and the criteria for evaluating the relevance of a given problem report are described.
