Lessons learned from evaluating launch-site processing problems of Space Shuttle payloads

Carlos A. Flores, R. E. Heuser, Johnny R. Sales, Austin Smith

Abstract

The authors discuss a trend analysis program that is being conducted on the problem reports written during the processing of Space Shuttle payloads at Kennedy Space Center. The program is aimed at developing lessons learned that can both improve the effectiveness of the current payload processing cycles as well as help to guide the processing strategies for Space Station Freedom. The payload processing reports from STS 26R and STS 41 are used. A two-tier evaluation activity is described, and some typical results from the tier one analyses are presented.>
