Abstract
Excerpt: This research examines the reliability of space launch vehicles (SLVs) performing commercial, civil, and military space lift missions through trend analysis and a variety of statistical methods. Data sets obtained from the Seradata database are analyzed for trends by examining data subsets including launch date, sector (commercial, civil or military), launch country, intended mission orbit, SLV family, and failed subsystem.
