reliability and is the author of the Handbook of Flight
Critical Systems (U.S. Air Force Aeronautical Systems
Division, January 1985) and a technical report on spacecraft
electronics reliability prediction based on analysis of more
than 2,500 spacecraft failures. Dr. Hecht has written chap-
ters on reliability in several textbooks, including Space
Mission Analysis and Design (Kluwer Academic Publishers,
1997) and Reducing Space Mission Cost (Kluwer Academic
Publishers, 1996~. Prior to founding SoHaR, Dr. Hecht
