Tools of risk management in product verification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Product development and innovation involve uncertainty, which inevitably incurs risk. Especially, as product development cycles shorten and resources condense, and as the products themselves grow more complex, managing ...
The evolution of network competition in transatlantic aviation and the effects of regulatory liberalization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Since the domestic deregulation of the U.S. airline industry in 1978, impacts to domestic stakeholders, including airlines, airports, labor and consumers, have been well-studied. International air transportation, however, ...
Designing sustainable heavy lift launch vehicle architectures adaptability, lock-in, and system evolution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Long term human space exploration depends on the development of a sustainable heavy lift launch vehicle (HLLV). But what exactly is sustainability in the context of launch systems and how can it addressed in the design ...
Political sustainability in the vision for space exploration : articulating the policy-technology feedback cycle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
It is often difficult to forecast the future budgetary environment for today's space systems. Indeed, multiple NASA missions and programs have been put into jeopardy or canceled outright, due to discrepancies between the ...
Astronaut Extravehicular Activity : safety, injury & countermeasures; &, Orbital collisions & space debris : incidence, impact & international policy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Extravehicular Activity (EVA) spacesuits are a key enabling technology which allow astronauts to survive and work in the harsh environment of space. Of the entire spacesuit, the gloves may perhaps be considered the most ...
Institutionalizing change in aerospace process and product settings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The use of satellite-based technology in developing countries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Satellite technology in the areas of remote sensing, communication, and navigation can provide valuable information in a number of areas from business to disaster management to agriculture. There is great potential for ...
Assessing and mitigating vulnerability chains in model-centric acquisition programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Acquisition programs increasingly use model-centric approaches, generating and using digital assets throughout the lifecycle. Model-centric practices have matured, yet in spite of sound practices there are uncertainties ...
A cost model for testing unmanned and autonomous systems of systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The evolutionary nature of Unmanned and Autonomous Systems of Systems (UASoS) acquisition needs to be matched by equally evolutionary test capabilities in the future. There is currently no standard method to determine what ...
Deployment related mental health care seeking behaviors in the U.S. military and the use of telehealth to mitigate their impacts on access to care
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Interviewees report that groups of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan often require substantial amounts of mental health care, causing surges in demand at military hospitals. These hospitals have difficulty ...
