The on-board software continually monitors and controls critical systems throughout a Space Shuttle flight. At NASA's request, the committee convened to review the agency's flight software development processes and to recommend a number of ways those processes could be improved. This book, the result of the committee's study, evaluates the safety, oversight, and management functions that are implemented currently in the Space Shuttle program to ensure that the software is of the highest quality possible. Numerous recommendations are made regarding safety and management procedures, and a rationale is offered for continuing the Independent Verification and Validation effort that was instituted after the Challenger Accident. 606 $aSpace shuttles$xComputer programs 606 $aFlight engineering$xData processing 606 $aSoftware engineering$zUnited States 615 0$aSpace shuttles$xComputer programs. 615 0$aFlight engineering$xData processing. 615 0$aSoftware engineering 676 $a629.44/1/028553 701 $aLeveson$b Nancy$0752858 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee for Review of Oversight Mechanisms for Space Shuttle Software Processes. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970035903321 996 $aAn Assessment of Space Shuttle flight software development processes$94363021 997 $aUNINA
