Abstract:

Mariner'71 testing was delayed when replacement of one blown fuse required the removal of a module containing other fuses necessary to the safe testing of the spacecraft, thereby postponing further testing on all the affected components. Located fuses in the fused devices instead of concentrating them in the power subsystem does leave the cabling unprotected by the fuses, but the reliability of the cabling is so high that this lack of protection is usually well justified.
