A number of safety and reliability analysis tools are available to identify potential safety and reliability problems and to meet specified requirements. Traditionally, safety and reliability analyses are performed independently, often by different organizations. However, separate safety and reliability analyses can require significant resources, especially in new launch vehicles using innovative designs, and can lead to inaccuracies and inconsistent results. By integrating safety and reliability analyses, a launch vehicle developer can use these tools more efficiently and effectively to improve both safety and reliability. This paper describes a process for integrating a traditional system safety process with reliability analyses and provides a simplified example of how those analysis tools might be used for a sample reusable launch vehicle.
