Abstract:

This report supports the Gemini B Pre-Ignition and Flight Effectiveness Model Reports, MAC Reports F921 and F919, respectively the latter describe the techniques and formulae used to develop Gemini B subsystem and segment probability estimates and MOL System crew safety estimates based on individual black box reliability estimates. This Effectiveness Assessment Plan details the procedures, ground rules and methods used to determine the black box estimates based on 1 experience and test results and 2 generic or inherent failure rates from handbook sources, and presents the formulae used to evaluate the success probabilities for various redundant configurations and equipment combinations.
