The Design
Principles of Low Cost, Useable, Reliable, Maintainable and Safe
Systems by Story Musgrave, Astronaut
Click the arrow to hear an
interview with Story
Story
Musgrave will take you on a journey from farm machinery to
military aircraft, construction equipment to the Hubble Space
Telescope, to illustrate how the design principles of simplicity
and beauty can create low cost, useable, reliable, maintainable,
and safe machinery. Discover how, after 30 years as the
maintenance test pilot on the Northrop T-38 aircraft, Story
contributed to the most reliable and maintainable, high
performance aircraft in U.S. Air Force history. Attention to
these sound principles also led to the existence of the
magnificent, robust, and dependable Apollo Saturn vehicles.
Story will also explore, on the other hand, how
poor maintenance designs can lead to increased cost,
inefficiency, and unsafe, unreliable equipment. He will share
his years of Space Shuttle maintenance experience to demonstrate
how the complexity of design can cause massive problems.
Designing for serviceability in the earliest
stages of development is key to maintenance success. Story’s
first-hand experience working for 17 years on the design of
serviceability and maintainability for the Hubble Space
Telescope demonstrates this. He will share details of his
adventure as lead mechanic on the infamous repair mission, where
these design concepts were the principle reason for 100% success
of this, and every Hubble servicing mission.
More about Story:
Story Musgrave was born in 1935 on a
dairy farm in Stockbridge, MA. He was in the forests alone at 3
and by 5 floated his homebuilt rafts on the rivers. He rode
combines at 5, drove trucks and tractors at 10 and when alone in
remote fields, repaired them by 13.
Story never finished school, ran off to
Korea with the U.S. Marines where he was an aircraft electrician
and an engine mechanic. He started flying with the Marines and
over the next 55 years accumulated 18,000 hours in over 160
aircraft. He is a parachutist with over 800 freefalls. He has 7
graduate degrees in math, computers, chemistry, medicine,
physiology, literature and psychology. He has been awarded 20
honorary doctorates. He was a part-time trauma surgeon during
his 30 year astronaut career.
Story
was an NASA astronaut for over 30 years and flew on six
spaceflights. He performed the first shuttle spacewalk on
Challenger's first flight, was a pilot on an astronomy mission,
conducted two classified DOD missions, was the lead spacewalker
on the Hubble Telescope repair mission and on his last flight,
he operated an electronic chip manufacturing satellite on
Columbia.
Today he operates a palm farm in
Orlando, FL, a production company in Sydney and a sculpture
company in Burbank, CA. He is also a landscape architect, a
concept artist with Walt Disney Imagineering, an innovator with
Applied Minds Inc. and a professor of design at Art Center
College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Story also performs
multimedia presentations on topics such as vision, leadership,
motivation, safety, quality, innovation, creativity, design,
simplicity, beauty and ecology. He has 7 beautiful children:
Lorelei, Scott, Holly, Todd, Jeff, Lane and Story, ranging from
