A new standard developed by ASTM International’s commercial spaceflight committee ( F47 ) establishes a failure tolerance for suborbital vehicles specific to situations of occupant safety. Failure tolerance, also known as fault tolerance, is the ability of a system to continue satisfying safety or operational objectives in the event one or more components fail. “Failure tolerance provides a…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11123 ###
