Redundancy
2ault Tolerance
♦ 2ault tolerance is a system design characteristic associatedwith the ability of a system to continue operating after acomponent failure has occurred.
♦ Dt is implemented by having design redundancy and a faultdetection response capability.
♦ !esign redundancy can take several forms( parallel, stand-by,
and cross-strapped 8see upcoming block diagram slide:.
2unctional Redundancy
♦ 2unctional redundancy is a system design and operationscharacteristic that allows the system to respond to component
failures in a way sufficient to meet mission re>uirements.♦ This usually involves operational work-arounds and the use of
components in ways that were not originally intended.• /alileo high-gain antenna e'ample

Module Summary: Reliability
♦ Reliability is a key attribute of space systems, influencingsystems engineering activities such as design, trade studies,
modeling, and test.♦ The reliability function, R8t:, is determined from the probability
that a system will be successful for at least some specified time.
♦ The Bathtub curve e'presses the failure rate as it depends onthe age of the system. #arly and late in life of the system
8similar to the human body: significantly higher failure ratesoccur called “infant mortality” and “old age” regions. Betweenthese regions normally lies an e'tended period of appro'imatelyconstant failure rate. The reliability of systems operating in thisregion can be simply characteri@ed by an e'ponential function.
♦ 3ays to achieve reliability include fault tolerance, functionalredundancy and fault avoidance.
♦ Block diagrams and event trees are useful tools in calculatingreliability. 7n understanding of probability basics is re>uired.

2ault tree analysis is a graphical
representation of the combination
of faults that will result in theoccurrence of some 8undesired:
top event .
Dn the construction of a fault tree,
successive subordinate failure
events are identified and logicallylinked to the top event.
The linked events form a tree
structure connected by symbols
called gates.
