Which quality approaches, methods and tools would you propose to mitigate each of the following factors ?
- Errors in ground-based computer simulations of how modest spacecraft thruster firings were projected and subsequently carried out aboard the spacecraft throughout its interplanetary route to Mars remained unreported.
- In comparison to the earlier Mars Global Surveyor mission, the operational navigation crew was not fully briefed about the intricacies of the way the Mars Climate Orbiter was aimed in orbit.
- A last, optional engine firing to boost the spacecraft's course relative to Mars before arrival was proposed but not carried out for a variety of interrelated reasons.
- The project's systems engineering function, which is responsible for tracking and double-checking all interconnected aspects of the mission, was insufficiently robust, which was exacerbated by the first-time handover of a Mars-bound spacecraft from a group that built and launched it to a new, multi-mission operations team.
- Some project engineering groups' communication channels were unprofessional.
- The small mission navigation team was oversubscribed, and its work was not peer reviewed by independent experts.
- Personnel were not sufficiently trained in areas such as the relationship between the mission's operation and its detailed navigational characteristics, or the process of filing formal anomaly reports.
- The methodology for verifying and validating certain engineering requirements and technological interfaces between specific project groups and the project's primary mission contractor was insufficient.
