http://www.nasawatch.com/archives/2006/05/...finally_so.html : "Yikes! ITAR issues aside, it is obvious why NASA sat on this report for a year -- it has a high embarassment coefficient."
I put this report in this place on the website because of the crucial importance of robotic rendezvous and docking to Mars sample return. Overall causes of the failure were our familiar old friends: too small a team, lack of a systems engineer, over-hasty schedule, and above all "High Risk, Low Budget Nature of the Procurement". Seems to me I've heard that song before... |

Another fine mission managed by MSFC. The wrong center was managing a mission that they had no expertise in and not smart enough to ask or listen to it.

Keith Cowing's coverage is interesting - just wait until Mark Wade has a go, too!
It seems that the root cause of this one is, once again, a lack of management quality rather than a lack of quality management - someone should have called a halt well before launch. And *why* did the report take 18 months to escape into the wild? Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
