This report is submitted to document the results of the study and evaluations associated with the task delineated as Margin Philosophy to Attain Robustness in Annex A to Attachment 9 of the National Launch Development Program Statement of Work dated September 30, 1991. Task no. 31, as defined in the SOW, is shown on Figure 1. In the process of conducting Sub Task 1, as defined on Figure 1, it became apparent that Robustness was not obtained by the management and/or control of margins but is the result of appropriate design philosophy used in the design and development of the total launch system. This total system must include all ground operations facilities, processes and support equipment as well as the launch vehicle and the processes and equipment associated with the production, handling and launch of the vehicle. The developed design philosophy must reflect a thorough understanding of design parameters, their potential interactions and how they are addressed during the design and analysis process. This task attempts to develop an approach, 'Design Philosophy to Attain Robustness', that may be applied to any launch vehicle system resulting in a Robust total system design. As a result of the above, the Objective, Approach and Sub Tasks for Task no. 31 have been changed to the following. Identify the launch system attributes required to develop a robust system. Identify the analyses and/or trade studies required to define the design philosophy necessary to attain the desired system Robustness.
