Abstract:
The root cause of the Mars Climate Orbiter (MCO) mission failure was identified as cumulative navigation errors. These errors resulted, in part, from operational procedures and software that were inadequately reviewed, evaluated, and implemented. A high degree of formality, anomaly follow-up and close out, selection of reviewers and penetration of technical issues is essential in the review process, including the design, operational, and peer reviews.
