Abstract
Unless exceptionally high levels of reliability are achieved in long mission satellite systems such as those required for navigation, weather, ICBM warning, or communication purposes, the operating costs become prohibitive in terms of satellites needed to keep the system going and multimillion dollar costs per launch. This paper outlines and discusses the technical reliability approach and the related reliability program plan needed to meet the severe reliability requirements of satellite systems.
