This paper deals primarily with the reliability of unmanned scientific or commercial satellites. In the course of reliability analysis an hierarchy of reliability predictions is generated, reaching from preliminary apportionment by subsystems: to figures of merit, usually obtained by Boolean algebra; to results based on failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA); to data from an elaborate, thoughs till static, fault tree; and eventually to data depicting the dynamics of mission time line and contingency analyses.
