Experiences obtained in producing reliable spacecraft for some of Goddard Space Flight Center programs (Relay, Syncom, Tiros) are analyzed; techniques used for controlling and appraising space programs differ considerably and are influenced by spacecraft design, target dates, and budget restrictions; validity of these techniques is indicated by results of test programs; problem occurrences are analyzed relative to program phase; results of study are projected into optimizing techniques for quality and reliability planning of space hardware.
