The Design Principles of Low Cost, Useable, Reliable,
Maintainable and Safe Systems by Story Musgrave, Astronaut
 |
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. |

Story Musgrave Interview |
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.

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
