Abstract :
The four main areas of the NASA trend analysis program-problem/reliability, performance, supportability, and programmatic trending-are defined and illustrated with examples from Space Shuttle applications. Emphasis is on the programmatic-trending component of the program and several of the statistical techniques used. Also described is the NASA safety, reliability, maintainability, and quality assurance (SRM&QA) management information center, used to focus management attention on key near-term launch concerns and long-range mission trend issues
