Concurrent Evaluation – Example Two Risk Assessment Slide 8 André Weiß, DLR Institute of Space Systems

Concurrent Evaluation – Risk Assessment Based on Risk Management Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Concurrent Evaluation – Risk Assessment Based on Risk Management Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Characteristic elements were identified Implemented in the Concurrent Evaluation process Slide 9 André Weiß, DLR Institute of Space Systems

Concurrent Evaluation – Risk Assessment The Risk Assessment Process Step 1 Subsystem and Mission

Concurrent Evaluation – Risk Assessment The Risk Assessment Process Step 1 Subsystem and Mission analysis Step 2 Development of a system map dependencies between components functional relationships Step 3 (iterated for each failure) Clear identification of failure as well as its effects Definition of possible solutions or workarounds Slide 10 André Weiß, DLR Institute of Space Systems

Concurrent Evaluation – Example Three Mission Extension Evaluation Slide 11 André Weiß, DLR Institute

Concurrent Evaluation – Example Three Mission Extension Evaluation Slide 11 André Weiß, DLR Institute of Space Systems

Concurrent Evaluation – Mission Extension Evaluation 53% of exploration spacecrafts exceeded initial mission goals

Concurrent Evaluation – Mission Extension Evaluation 53% of exploration spacecrafts exceeded initial mission goals Mission extensions have become quite common The intention: • Streamlining through concurrent approach • Responding to customer needs Optimal “science return / cost” ratio Slide 12 André Weiß, DLR Institute of Space Systems

Conclusion Extend the concurrent approach across other phases Done elsewhere: Phase B Concurrent Reviewing

Conclusion Extend the concurrent approach across other phases Done elsewhere: Phase B Concurrent Reviewing Analyzed here: Concurrent Evaluation Adaptation of established methodologies Definition of a new process Slide 13 André Weiß, DLR Institute of Space Systems
