Abstract:

Prelaunch tests and verification of software and hardware used to switch to a redundant string should include assumed failures in either string during all mission phases. MPL did not verify the ability of the Lander to switch to the redundant uplink string after landing assuming a failure in the primary string had occurred during earlier entry, descent and landing phases. Recognize that transitions to another mission phase are high-risk sequences and that database changes that impact logic decisions should be retested.
