UK's Beagle 2 Mars Probe Nearly Aced 2003 Landing Cost MGMT
After critical analysis of the case study we have come with conclusion that to
avoid this type of planning failure following are some of our recommendations:
At the start of a program, the funding authorities should require that there is
system-level documentation. This is necessary to provide all partners with the
technical requirements for the project and sufficient design description and
justification such that the margins and risks being taken in each partner’s area
of responsibility are visible.
Planetary probe missions involving high-level shocks from pyros and other
events should undergo representative shock environmental testing at system
level.
