Hall, G E

The models are presented for electronic parts to be used in current and projected ESA spacecraft. These models are used to restructure ESA product assurance specifications and to merge existing specifications on derating requirements and failure rates. For each component, the rationals for derating/applications recommendation are related to the derating/applications specification. The reliability models analysis comprises a matrix identifying changes from previous specifications and a set of reliability model sheets for each part type examined. Proposals for merging specifications on derating and reliability models are presented, concisely demonstrating the advantages of a single parts usage document. A literature survey is given of parts applications, parts technology, reliability, and radiation effects.
