Examples
-
Our great mistake in estimating the cost of reusability for the SRM/SRB and Orbiter was to neglect the safety requirement of post-flight analysis of the retrieved hardware.
-
Hence, post-flight inspections have to be done to attempt an understanding of the interaction of the real flight environments with the hardware.
-
The post-Challenger redesign, the large number of flights and the unique ability for post-flight inspection make it a well understood system. uh, that's nice revisionist history but I believe the score is 7-0. 7 astronauts killed riding American solids to 0 riding on a liquid. again, you only need the solid if the centralized planning bureau has determined that all large liquid development for 40 years will be in LH2/Lox.
-
We didn't come even close in estimating how much post-flight engineering hours and the number of people involved in doing limit testing, number-crunching simulations, etc.
-
Lots of post-flight engineering hours and some physical reshaping of hardware, e.g., from water impact loads on the SRM/SRB, plus salt water exposure, etc; Orbiter structural integrity (including especially the Thermal Protection System) and the main propulsion system elements.

The shuttle is in "great shape," Kelly said at a post-flight press conference.
-
That increased risk for post-flight disease doubled to 7.7% for passengers seated in a two-seat hot zone.
