Modeling Stochastic Performance and Random Failure

High costs and extreme risks prevent the life testing of NASA hardware in relevant scenarios. These inherent limitations prevent the determination of sound reliability bounds for NASA hardware, thus it is unclear the true risk assumed in future missions. The simulation infrastructure for determining these risks is developed in a configurable format here. Preliminary results in preparation for validation testing are reported. A stochastic filter simulates non-deterministic output from the various unit processes. A maintenance and repair module has been implemented with several levels of complexity. Two approaches to simulated system life testing have been proposed for future validation.
