NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center maintains a data base of anomalous spacecraft behavior attributed to environmental interactions. One of the uses of these data base has been to identify trends in anomaly occurrence. Trends alone do not provide quantitative testimony to a spacecraft's reliability, but they do indicate areas that command closer study. An in-depth analysis of a specific anomaly can be difficult without on-board environmental monitors. Statistically verified anomaly trends can provide a good reference point to begin analysis of a spacecraft's susceptibility to environmental conditions. The data base currently contains over 3000 anomaly reports from 7 countries.
