Understanding the early mission risk and progression of risk as a vehicle gains insights through flight is important: (a) To the Shuttle Program to understand the impact of re-designs and operational changes on risk. (b) To new programs to understand reliability growth and first flight risk. Estimation of Shuttle Risk Progression by flight: (a) Uses Shuttle Probabilistic Risk Assessment (SPRA) and current knowledge to calculate early vehicle risk. (b) Shows impact of major Shuttle upgrades. (c) Can be used to understand first flight risk for new programs.
